Bosat i USA - SKAT af vundne $

Hey pokerchamps!

Hvis man bor i USA og spiller på PokerStars - Hvor meget skal man så betale i skat af det man vinder?

For at besvare det spørgsmål, er du nødt til at give lidt flere informationer.

er du flyttet fast dertil eller er du bare på f.eks. udveksling i high school eller college?

Er fastboende - Eller bliver det snart ihvertfald :).

Det kommer lidt an på, hvilken stat du bor i. Er det online/live - tourney/cash? Mener bestemt de napper 30% af tourney gevinster på casinoer?

Vil gå ud fra, at du bliver beskattet som amerikaner?


Ellers kontakt evt. Lars Bønding. Han må da kunne give et bedre svar :)

AMERICANS

For Americans, taxes on poker winnings varies depending on what state you live in. You can also get all or a part of the taxes back if you file for a tax return with the IRS and all of your receipts are sent with it. That way you will only end up getting taxed on your net profit. You can also make deductions on losses and other expenses related to playing poker.

Professional players can report their poker tournament winnings as income. In order to be recognized as a professional poker player you will have to be able to prove that the majority of your income comes from poker.

Here are some examples of what the America 2008 WSOP Final Tablists will pay:
