I'm wondering what everyone thinks about buying Macy's at this price of around $22. It is yielding nearly 7% !!!
I know all about the Amazon effect but I gotta assume at least some of the better retailers will survive. I think you guys who bought in on "X" in the $20-21 will be happy in another year.

So off topic a bit but I had a pretty good weekend in vegas this past weekend and made out with some cash. How do taxes in that work?

How much cash. At some point, the casino reports those winnings and will have to be listed as additional income. I don't believe the casino taxes the money but they report it, I assume. I've never worried about it but I've never won what I would consider large sums.

Yeah, casino winnings aren't subject to withholding/deduction, generally, but you're supposed to report winnings. I don't know at what point the casino's themselves file a 1099 or whatever with the IRS. However, you can offset winnings by losses within the same year, though obviously it would be best if you had some records around this to show the losses. You can't take more in losses than you had in winnings, AND your losses can only be taken if you itemize deductions I believe, so if you're taking the standard deduction, oh well. As always, the advice on here is worth precisely what you paid for it.

Did the casino request your social security number at any point, or do they already have it because you have some kind of account with them?

Yeah, imagine they will send you a 1099-[whatever letter it is for gaming winnings]. You should definitely keep track of gaming losses in 2017 now, if you haven't been already, as losses can be used to offset winnings.

I'd agree with this unless they send him the 1099-whatever.

1099 is for Misc stuff like non-compensation employee or self employed, etc.

Holy hell man. https://www.efile.com/taxable-gambli...-income-taxes/ Looks like it is just a flat 25% tax. This link says you can only deduct losses if you itemize. Personally, I'd just stick it in a savings account until tax time. No W-2 G, I wouldn't report it. Last edited by Buehler445; 07-13-2017 at 06:46 PM.. Reason: Too dumb to read. |

Was up 2 grand thru Saturday, then sat night sat at the blackjack table with 1000, 100 dollars a hand minimum. Played about 1.5 hours and got to noticing my stack was getting a little bigger as I started betting more. Colored up and had 8k |

Jesus man. I don't want to gamble that much cash. Maybe it is because I gamble a lot on weather but damn. I worked hard for coin. I don't want to give it to a casino - I have invariably bad luck.
