Message: [QUOTE="nevadanick, post: 1949325, member: 27547"] They don't make you 'fill out the form' but they CAN and DO make you give them your IRS info so [B]they[/B] can issue the appropriate IRS reporting form. The casinos are REQUIRED to do this. Refuse to give them the info in the US and one of two things will happen ... you WILL NOT be paid your winnings -or- the casino WILL deduct the required IRS amount (~40%) and give you the rest. Actually, if the US casino deducts your required tax amount in lieu of you providing the appropriate info for the tax form, you will leave that amount in the hands of the casino... who in turn will forward it to the IRS. Again.. required by law... US tax law... not an option based on your opinion. ****************** [/QUOTE]
