How do strippers file taxes?

Asked by girlofscience (7567points) April 14th, 2009

Unlike drug dealing and prostitution, stripping provides cash-based income that is legal. Which means these girls gotta file taxes! But how?

From what I remember from reading Diablo Cody’s Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper, the income was all cash. Strippers never got paychecks from the stripclub establishment. They make all of their money from the dollars thrown at their boobies and vagigirls and from the private dances they give throughout the need. And then they need to tip out money to the DJ and bartenders.

I wouldn’t imagine that the majority of strippers even keep track of most of their income, simply because it’s difficult to keep track of cash consistently.

Are strippers supposed to file taxes for their stripping income? If so, do they really do it? I guess they would have to pay gigantic amounts every year since taxes are not taken out?

How does it all work?
