So basically whatever your country does for taxes when you play a poker tournament in the states is what would happen in terms of taxes.
Would you care to elaborate on how that works with the Tax department in the states? I'm curious because every country seems to treat this differently.
Can you just show them records of people sending you money for backing, so that lets say you win One Drop, you are only taxed on the 10/15% you have of yourself?
So i guess my question is: How do you prove to the Tax Authority that you were backed for a large portion of the buyin?
