It's about a group of MIT college kids who their professor teaches how to play Blackjack in Las Vegas by "counting cards." Because they all work in a team, they would win up to millions of dollars per night in Vegas. Wouldn't they have to report winnings in the casino if they win THAT much money?

Not only do they have some hanky panky with their taxes considering that they're employed by secret agencies — but just how do you get your taxes to pass muster when other spies and your suspicious wife will be checking up on your return (especially if you file jointly)?

When I'm watching movies, I always think about "what if he/she has to deal with this problem? That'd be realistic and funny." I never think about them in the context of tax though. Does the movie need to take place in modern time though? Or maybe you can try to force modern tax code onto ancient people? Aha, this is awesome.

First you to consider Seth's filing status, since he is a college dropout and his father is a Federal Judge he would have, at one point, been a dependent before he dropped out of college. Underground casino earnings? How would you hide so much money from the IRS (and Dad)? Then the new job at the shady brokerage firm...if their business is less-than-reputable, what about their bookkeeping and taxes? Oh, the tax headache.....
