Default Tax Poll

How many of you can say truthfully that you have paid taxes on your BJ income without a W2 being issued from the casino ?

1. Yes I am a good American and have paid my taxes.

2. No I have not and never will without a W2.

Default I'm not exactly a "flag waver"

But I do pay all my taxes and always have. I have a good moral compass and I have always tried lived my life with integrity.

I am sure you pay all your taxes and are of good moral character. But the point I am trying to establish is that table games players (BJ) will not pay taxes on their own without a W2 issued. If you have paid taxes how did you handle your state tax. Living in one state and earning money in another state?I also pay all my tazes but when it comes to BJ, my rule of thumb is no W2 no Taxie for you!

I'd be in BIG trouble if I only paid taxes based on W2. I'm self-employed.

You do realize that half of this statement can not be true,don't you?

Either you pay the taxes you owe,or you don't.The lack of a W2 doesn't affect your tax obligation in the least.

Yes it does if I don't declare.

Default It's amazing what people can and do believe!

So these guys board your ship and take all your gold and silver. They say "it's ok because we're not pirates,we're buccaneers" (working for the King)
As their ship sails off into the sunset I sure feel alot better knowing they're not pirates. Yeah right.
