Tax.....

[ab0035]

Guys, during my largely unsuccessful trip to Vegas is July, i did manage to make 2 cashes, $1440 on a slot machine!! and $2176 in a WSOP event. On both occasions I faced a delay in being paid out due to not having an 'ITIN' number. However, at the Bellagio upon my slot machine win, I was told that one had been applied for on my behalf. Armed with my receipt, I had less trouble receiving my WSOP payout 3 days later.

However,

last week I received a form through the post from the IRS; a blank 1040NR with a copy of my slot machine receipt and 'a request for missing information' - to be satisfied by completing this aggressive looking 1040NR. It also included a hand written ITIN number. i thought once we had an ITIN number we were exempt from any tax and tax filing duties etc, plus the year is not over yet so why are they getting me to do one now?

I have never been to Vegas either, but why not just supply the information they request? What do they want to know?

PM me with further details and I'll try and assist in translating yankish tax forms (In a former life I helped boatloads of Navy folk 2 finger the IRS)
