How are crypto gambling winnings taxed?

So I was gambling online using bitcoin and won a few thousand dollars.
I deposited CAD and converted to BTC numerous times, but at the end I came out on top. My issue is that how I arrived at my winnings is complicated. Let’s say I basically deposited $500 converted to BTC, lost it all, and then deposited another $500 converted to BTC and with this money (BTC) I won a few thousand dollars in BTC. I have yet to sell the BTC.
From my understanding, online gambling is not taxed in Canada, but since I gambled with my bitcoin, does this become a taxable event?
Could I justify to the CRA that I did not use bitcoin as an investment, but simply as a vehicle to gamble?
Would it wise to just call CRA / TAX accountant to discuss in detail?

How are gambling winnings taxed?

So, I've been doing my taxes in Taxact. I filled everything out, and was going to receive a tax return of ~5800. However, I remembered that I won some money on a slot machine in vegas around a year ago. Well, I filled out the gambling winnings portion of taxact, and it instantly reduced my return to ~3800. I'm shocked, as I won $2,236 on the slot machine... Almost the entire win goes to taxes? Is this possible? I thought it'd be taxed as regular income?
Thanks

How are illegal gambling winnings taxed?

Hey guys,
I'm writing a tax paper and I have to explain how illegal gambling should be taxed.
Illegal income "should" be reported on line 21 as other income, but on the other hand, we have a system specifically set up for gambling winnings. Which one should I use?'
Edit: Would we use the gambling winnings tax system since it's taxed at a higher rate?

Gambling winnings Tax question

When I am entering my winnings into TurboTax, do I just input how much I've won minus the wager.

Example:
I place a $500 bet that pays out $2000
Are my winnings:
A. $2000
or
B. $1500

I understand that you can deduct loses and what not but I'm trying to understand if the wagers also have to be deducted or if you just dont count towards your winnings.

A question about the $600 gambling winning tax threshold in California

I know that if I go to a casino, I win $600 bucks, I'm taxed on it. I believe it's 50%. Is that if I make $600 profit? Like if I bet $300, win back $600, does that mean I have to pay the government $300 anyway, making my bet useless? Let's say I put down $500 on roulette, win back $1500, do I only receive $750, netting only $250 profit?
If I make a bunch of small winnings in the day, totaling over 600, do I have to pay the tax? Is it over $600 per year? How does this work in California?

changes in Gambling winning tax law?

I met with my CPA to get my taxes done and he mentioned that the tax law has changed in gambling. He states that it used to be in the past you could claim in losses up to the amount you won example winning $1,000 on a scratch ticket you used to be able to collect $1,000 worth of losing tickets to write off as a wash.
Now he said you can only write off the cost of the ticket you paid for the winning ticket. Example if you won $1,000 on a $10 scratch ticket you can only write off the $10 ticket cost and can no longer write off $1,000 in losing tickets. Does anyone one now if this is true?
Also if this is the change, if you put $1,000 on a sports team to win $1,000 does that end up being a wash now?
Thank you in advance

Bitcoin Gambling Winnings: Tax Implications?

Hello /personalfinance, can you help me with my 21st century problem?
Long story short, I did very well betting on March Madness this year, netting about 20BTC ($5,000 approx. today). Now I'm a bit confused about how the winnings being in Bitcoin affect the tax implications of this income. 1st general question - am I ok to declare the full amount on next year's tax return, or do I need to amend my 2014 filing? On the more technical end, what are the differences between leaving it in BTC vs. converting to USD (if we can ignore the question of whether BTC is a good investment)? Let's say I were to keep the balance in BTC, would I need to say X BTC were income from gambling winnings and their value changed from Y USD to Z USD over the course of the year? If so, how and where should that be reported? Are there tax advantages to one approach over the other?
Basically I'm trying to figure out what my best options are for folding this into my assets, and make sure I don't overlook anything I'm required to do. The gambling fund is and always has been fuck-around-money, I budget about $100 per season to play with because I enjoy the little bit of added excitement, this college basketball season just went really well.
Other possibly relevant details: I'm late 20's, stable job, no debt, no kids / serious SO, contribute regularly to retirement & investment funds (no glaring financial vices). Not particularly looking for "what to do with $X" type advice. Gross income in 2015 will be ~$70k (not including the BTC in question).
Thanks for any help Internet Friends!

Gambling winnings taxes - Did my friend get screwed?

Hey all, quick question about gambling winnings with real figures:
My friend just won $4,310.05 on virtual poker in the state of Iowa. This was at a casino. He said he walked out with $2,800.00, saying the teller "took the taxes out".
I have never heard of this before. From everything I've seen, you claim the gross winnings at the casino and then it is your responsibility to report them to the IRS. If the win was very large I assumed you get a 1099 or W2-G for it.
Did he somehow get screwed? In my head it seems like now he has to report the $4k gross to the IRS and pay state + federal taxes out of that $2.8k he received at the casino.
Any info on this situation would be great. Thanks!

Pokerstars taxes in Michigan

Edited to ask: Is each session counted as a separate taxable event, as a win or a loss? Or do we take the end of year aggregate total to count as a "win" or "loss"?
I tried Googling this, but it is really unclear. I do not intend to file as a professional gambler, I have a job. I also don't plan on playing high stakes, maybe just make around $10-20k a year. As far as I can tell, "winnings" must be reported, and losses aren't reported unless you ITEMIZE deductions, which I don't plan on doing. Does Pokerstars provide an annual tax form?
Additionally, poker "winnings" get added your Modified Adjusted Gross Income, but "losses" to not get deducted from your MAGI. In my case, I qualify for an Obamacare subsidy for having a MAGI under a certain number. It looks like I could lose this, even I have a net loss for the year.
So let's say I start the year winning 10 sessions in a row, and am up $10k, but I play 10 more sessions and lose $15k. Am I now forced to pay taxes on $10k for the year?
Also, are gambling winnings taxed at a different rate? Will they change my tax bracket?

If gambling losses are only deductible up to the amount of your winnings, then doesn't that mean its possible to get taxed on money you don't have?

Here's a hypothetical. Say you Doordashed and make 20k this year (I'm picking a non w-2 withholding job for simplicity). Say quadrupled that on bitcoin to 80k. You then decide to gamble this all on a csgo game. You lose it all.
Are you really expected to pay taxes on 20k of self employed income and then 60k of capital gains if you have literally nothing?

Lottery/gambling winnings paid in crypto - tax implications

Hey all,
Let's say that one enters a lottery/gambles and the payout is in cryptocurrency. My understanding is that these are generally not taxable items in Canada. But is there something that still needs to be considered in order to avoid getting dinged by the CRA?
Thanks.

How to calculate taxes on bitcoin gambling wins

For example, let's say I buy $1k worth of bitcoin and send it to a bitcoin gambling site. I win another $1k worth of bitcoin and send all that $2k total of bitcoin to CashApp and sell. If all of this happened within an hr and the price of BTC only went up/down by MAYBE a couple dollars...how is that taxed?
Since this bitcoin came out of nowhere from cashapp's perspective, how is capital gains calculated? Will I be taxed on the entire $1k of earnings since there is no "buy" price to compare from the "sell" price? Or instead, will the "buy" price BE the price of BTC when the $2k worth of bitcoin was transferred from the website to cashapp? Idk, its kinda hard to wrap my head around.
BTW, I'm in Cali and a student so I'm in the lowest tax bracket for reference. PLZ help !

How do taxes work in Roobet bitcoin gambling if I am storing any winnings as BTC in Coinbase?

Hi all - have been employing a martingale strategy (don't tell me arguments against - I'm aware) and have made some money thus far. I've been depositing btc from Coinbase into Roobet and save any winnings as BTC to accumulate my position. I have made a net profit of 2,000 (winnings - losses) so far and have started wondering how this may be taxed in the US. I have gambled around 18,000 in total which makes sense due to the martingale strategy often leading to higher wagers - but I have only lost 1,200 since I have started. If I am keeping all my winnings in Coinbase should I report my gambling winnings or wait until one day (won't be for several years) that I exchange my btc to usd and have to take the capital gains tax. Thanks, everyone.

Sports Gambling and Taxes. Sportsbook includes principal in winnings

For taxes, I know that I need to report my gambling winnings, but I am wondering if the principal can be subtracted from the total 'win.' In short, the book shows that I have 12k in winnings because it includes the amount wagered in the win. However, when going through all of my transactions and subtracting out the initial outlay, my total winnings come out to roughly $5,000. For tax purposes, do I need to report the $12,000 or $5,000?
To give an example, I bet $101 to win $100. The sportsbook claims this as a $201 win, but in reality I have only won $100 when subtracting the bet amount of $101
And then a small side question if it is the case that I should report only the $5,000: how do I deal with "cash outs" that resulted in a loss. i.e. I bet $100 on a game, but cashed out to 'win' $50. Is that considered a win or a loss?

gambling winnings taxed video

For these players, gambling winnings are considered regular income for tax purposes, meaning that they are taxed at the normal income tax rate, rather than the gambling tax rate. All income and expenses for professional gamblers much be recorded on Schedule C, not Schedule A. Winnings from gambling can be taxable and should be reported on your tax return. Winnings may be reported on a W2-G. However, if you itemize deductions on the schedule A, then you may deduct gambling losses only up to the amount of the winnings claimed on your tax return. Find out how taxes are applied to winnings on gambling and sports betting activity, including how to calculate the taxes owed and deducting expenses. The second rule is that you can’t subtract the cost of gambling from your winnings. For example, if you win $620 from a horse race but it cost you $20 to bet, your taxable winnings are $620, not $600 (after subtracting your $20 wager). Cash is not the only kind of winnings you need to report. Online gambling winnings are not taxed Denmark. Players can gamble at land based casinos or online without paying taxes on winnings. The casino operators in the country are responsible for paying 45-75% taxes on their gross gaming revenue.

Different countries have laws regulating the gambling industry; one aspect of such laws deal with tax-deductible from casino winnings. While some countries like the US deduct tax from casino winnings, some don't. In the US, all forms of gambling activities are taxed, whether legal or illegal.

In some cases, a backup withholding of 24% is required instead. If tax is withheld from your gambling winnings, you will be sent a W2-G form from the payer. How much are gambling winnings taxed?

Unless you plan on operating a casino, this will be of little concern to you. However, you can only deduct your loss up to the amount you report as gambling winnings. So, you should keep: An accurate diary of your gambling winnings and losses; Documentation of your gambling activity that can be verified; How Winnings Are Reported to the IRS: Form W-2G. The payer must provide you with a Form W-2G if you win: I’ll cut right to the chase: yes, you do need to pay federal taxes on gambling winnings in the United States. This is especially true when you net a big win and receive a W-2G form. According to the IRS, a gambling establishment should issue a W-2G when you win an amount that’s subject to federal income tax withholding (24% of win).
