Can anyone tell me approximately how much poker winnings are taxed? I had not planned on claiming my winnings for this year since they were small, and I was just building my bankroll. There have been some changes recently though (divorce and medical bills), that have forced me to play seriously, win consistently, and withdraw funds.

On a side note, it's funny how much needing the money will change the way you play. Instead of playing barely above break even poker for fun, as I have so far this year, I have recently taken it seriously as a source of income. I have made more in the past two months than I have in the previous 8 combined. In fact, I have made five times more in the past two months than the previous 8. If I have the time I may post a separate topic on this to help those new to the game.
