I am going to be in France for a month visiting my brother. While I am there I will be playing poker.
If I played online in france, and won money while there, and the money was never repatriated to the u.s., would it be taxable? I would withdraw money to a french bank, and spend that money while in europe.
Anyone have any thoughts or know where I could find more information about this?
Note: I am not looking to do anything illegal. I report all of my winnings in the US on a quarterly basis, but at the same time if I am not required to pay taxes while playing poker abroad, then I feel no moral obligation to pay taxes on those winnings.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Phil
