How much are taxes on sports betting?
Your sports betting winnings are considered taxable income—specifically they are deemed ordinary income on your return. If you’ve won money placing bets, the tax rate can be anywhere from 10% to 37% based on your income
tax bracket.
If you’ve lost money, you won’t owe any taxes, but you may be able to deduct your losses if you itemize your deductions on your return. Take note: You can’t deduct more than your winnings.
