It used to be the case that anything less than 10k being wired into the country would not raise an IRS flag. Now, especially post 9/11, consistent deposits of money form outside the country could be problematic. My husband is a pro, and for online we use Neteller. This way, you can look back at what you have sent to your bank account by EFT for the whole year, add it up, and that's your income. And for those who were wondering, it doesn't really count until you get it OUT somehow--so the money you have on your PokerStars account, for example, is not taxable. It's not income until it is actual, spendable money. Cause at that point, you could still lose everything you've won before it even gets into your hot little hand, see? So all you have to do is use the same intermediary service (like Neteller) and look at your EFTs. This has been effective for us at least. Might be a good idea to put aside 1/3 of your winnings as well, if you don't want a nasty surprise come tax time. If you are strict about it, you may get a "refund" in that you might not have to use all 33%. But that's a good rule of thumb.
