I agree that the chances are very slim. A couple of years ago, the law changed and even when you get audited, the burden of proof is now on the IRS to prove you owe more taxes. It used to be up to you that you didnt owe more than they say.

OOOOO CANADA!

Make the move up North and you'll have no worries

FAO UK Players: think I've got an answer from the Inland Revenue's website:

"What income is not taxable?

You are not taxed on all of your income, so when you are working out your taxable income you do not have to include

* Pension Credit
* Working Tax Credit
* Child Tax Credit
* social security benefits such as Child Benefit or Attendance Allowance
* ISA & PEP interest
* Student Loans
* Child Benefit
* Winter Fuel Payment
* Pensioner’s Christmas Bonus
* Interest and terminal bonuses under Save As You Earn schemes
* Premium Bonds, National Lottery winnings or gambling prizes."

So we get to keep all our winnings, unlike our less fortunate cousins across the pond.

I don't know whether these are useful or not..

For what it's worth, you may just consider going to H&R Block or some place similar. Assuming they do gambling winnings, you can pay something like $15 audit-insurance and they'll give you free counsel in case the IRS gets on your back.

I know for sure $10,000+ audits must be reported in Missouri (and probably the US), and to deposit this much you need to fill out some form about where the money came from. So once you're that high bank policy doesn't matter anymore.
