Gambling winnings taxes
I had no job for the entire tax year (Jan 2019 - Dec 2020). However, I earned some income from online poker winnings (around $11,000). I'm a bit unsure of how I am supposed to be reporting this income or if I just don't even need to file a return at all since its less than $12,000. I didn't keep an accurate record of winnings/losses, just the net profit (money Ive withdrawn from my poker account+what remains on the account). The website I use doesn't keep records of win/loss past 30 days so I have no way to retrieve records on all my individual wins/losses. Since I make less than $12,000 do I just not file a return for federal and state? And for city taxes my city requires filing even if you don't earn income, so if I don't file for federal/state would I report the income to the city even though I didn't report the income to federal or state?
