also almost tax time, and we should all remember who gets a piece of
every bet: the IRS. The IRS gets a piece, whether sports betting,
rolling the dice, playing cards, or betting on the ponies. All gambling winnings are taxable income in
the eyes of the IRS. And the IRS doesn't allow you to
automatically reduce your winnings by your losses either. Here are
7 tips for casual gamblers.

Via Wired: “Before Donald Trump was the president, he was a businessman. He came to office leading a vast business enterprise that includes real estate, casinos, and a lucrative branding operation. “The network is huge,” says designer Kim Albrecht, whose rivetingdata visualization Trump Connections attempts to untangle it all.

The other, which resembles a family tree, deconstructs that network person by person, business by business. “It’s a complete mess if you look at the entire dataset,” Albrecht says.

An exciting new way to fund social services has recently emerged. This new financing mechanism, called a social impact bond (SIB), has the potential to help us tackle some of our nation’s most challenging social problems.

Like any new financing instrument, SIBs create numerous regulatory challenges that have not yet been addressed. One unresolved issue is the tax implications of a SIB investment. This Article argues that the current law allows for multiple possible characterizations of the SIB arrangement for tax purposes.
