Chicago Tribune @chicagotribune Gov. JB Pritzker released partial tax records Wednesday showing he and his wife reported more than $10.3 million in taxable income — including more than $1.4 million in income from gambling.
Umm, washing ill gains by gambling it?
It’s a payola system - not unlike Hillary Clinton’s ‘winning bets’ through the futures market.
A whale - in more ways than one.
Wonder how he claimed the winnings?
Unless you file as a professional gambler, it is virtually impossible to claim your losses. I recently won a federal tax court case on this for a client.
Although he can claim the losses as itemized deductions, his high income would phase them out.
Prickster has an addictive personality. It is very evident. Eating, gambling, wonder what else?
You can gamble all day, replay and lose your winnings, come out even at the end of the day, and end up paying taxes on all your winnings and not being able to deduct your losses.
The tax laws on gambling suck.
I don’t think this was ‘real gambling.’
Just a hunch...
Was his gambling income from investment in gambling establishments? In other words, was he the house? Was he taking advantage of racial minorities, who are the main targets of online gambling establishments?
I’m sure his lucky streak has nothing to do with the hundreds of millions of dollars gangs and cartels in control of the major city in his state earn.
1.4 million Gambling income. Yea, this to me means he is dirty. The criminals really seem to hate Trump the most.
Pritzker’s toilet removal contractor gets nearly $9M in COVID-19 work
The contractor who removed toilets from Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s mansion in a $331,000 property tax scandal received a nearly $9 million COVID-19 contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The contractor hadn’t worked with the Corps in 76 years.
Okaaaay...
The person in charge of regulating gambling made $1.4 million from the industry he regulates. Totally normal.
“$10.3 million”
That’ll pay for a whole lot of trips to the all you can eat buffet joints.
Yeah, but paying the plumbers to keep coming out to unclog his toilet really adds up.
So THAT’S jow you launder!
I won it gambling.
Next “visitor”: set the package over there...
“Gambling” earnings are a bribe.
Yea right, just PAYOLA disguised as “gambling”.
Unless he owns the casinos, there’s no way that money is gambling winnings. More likely it was palm greasing.
You can deduct your losses up to the amount of winnings, however you better have every withdrawal from the bank in a very well organized detailed description spreadsheet, in case of audit.
Hillary was an expert on cow futures.
One look at her and you can tell...
Lol.
