<prompt> Human: I used to play poker a lot but have been off of it for the last couple years. My city has a casino and I recently started playing again. I am up a little over 1k in the past few weeks. I would assume an amount this low can be left off the books for this year, but I am more thinking about next year if I continue to play and do well. I honestly dont even know how this would be reported. I obviously wouldnt get a 1099 from the casino, is it just up to me to be honest and report winnings? From a purely hypothetical standpoint, of course, how the IRS even know that this money exists, especially if I keep it liquid and out of my bank account? Thanks reddit friends. Edit: After re-reading my post it doesss sounds like Im trying to get advice on tax evasion. Not my intent. I was really wondering if there was an amount Id have to hit before having to report. And if I should be receiving any sort of taxable income document from the casino. Thanks again  <response>: 50 cents gross income
