No. They count as gambling winnings and cannot be counted as a regular source of income. You don't pay tax on them. Insead the casino pays the tax as they are the ones making a regular income.

Does winnings from the casino count as earned income for my social security?

Gambling proceeds are not considered earned income if you do not report the income a self-employment income. Professional gamblers report gambling as self-employment income in order to deduct travel and other expenses as well as to establish retirement accounts and show the income as a part of an ongoing source of income in order to qualify for bank loans. Recreational gambling income, including lottery winnings, are not considered earned income.The distinction between earned income and ordinary income is for such issues as earned income tax credit and qualifying for social security benefits.Almost any source of money, including gambling winnings, is going to be income. The money would be called unearned income in this case. Consult the SSIC office for the publications that can give you all the details.

Why do you have to pay tax on casino winnings when you are likely going to put it all back into the casino and then some?

It's considered a source of income and therefore taxable. The person choosing to continue gambling with that income and perhaps losing it, is not relevent as far as the IRS is concerned. Moreover, your getting ahead of yourself in the accounting....if you sit and the table and lose....you don't have to have any tax withheld as you won't pay any. And if you win one day, and lose the next, the amount of the loss IS able to be taken against the income from the winnings...so you don't pay tax only on winnings...but NET winnings.

If you are a resident of that state, you have to file a tax return regardless of where you got your income.

For which state do you file Real estate state income tax if you live in a different state from the property?

== == Income is taxable in both the state where it is sourced and the state where you are a resident. Income received in connection with real estate is taxable in the state where the real estate is located. This includes rental income and income from the sale of the property. Also, the state where you are a resident taxes all income earned from any source anywhere in the world. This may result in the income being taxed by two states (if both states have income taxes). In that case, one of the two states (usually the one where you are a resident) usually will allow you to take a credit for some or all of the tax paid to the other state.
