I cannot overstate how improper your answer is...and, yet, it is the typical answer given by most writers in most sportsbooks or those who pretend to know what they are talking about....
If you HAVE ANY CASH TRANSACTION IN EXCESS OF $10,000..buy a car or a watch with cash, not a credit card....you will be required to provide the SAME IDENTIFICATION as if you were cashing a bet or making a bet with cash...or cashing out chips in a casino. The process in question has to do with MONEY LAUNDERING.
The question by the poster had to do with taxation....and, once again, the only laws on the books deal with a 300-1 payout in excess of $600.....
You can question whether or not the federal government, from a taxation standpoint, cares about the "over $10,000 bet/cashing"...but the paperwork deals with...for reporting purposes....money laundering and NOT taxation. |
