Hi, guys.
Pokerplayer from Norway in Europe who likes to travel to the US to play tournaments. I mostly play from $100 to $1000 buyin.
I have been (un)lucky to pay tax both in Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
In Vegas it was the usual $5000+ net winning. However, after winning $1500 (net 1270) at Commerce in LA i had to pay 30 %!
So for me its less value to play tournaments in LA compared with Vegas..
I have not played any tournaments at the east coast yet, but I have plans to win a lot there.
So my simple question is, where can I see the difference in tax rules listed from state to state? Or something thats clarifies the tax rules..
