Re: Tax Question for Foreign Students in the US
Thanks for the reply, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't apply to me. I'm not considering filing as a professional gambler if I do have to include my gambling income on my US taxes. As for not cashing out to a US bank account that may have been a good idea, but sadly the boat has sailed on that issue for me.
I did some combing of the IRS website and the only information I could find on gambling related income that applies to non-resident aliens was a reference to winnings form horse or dog races. Although there's good news there if you're filing form 1040NR, "Winnings from horse or dog races in the United States are excluded from your income if they are from a legal wager you made after October 22, 2004, outside the United States in a parimutual pool."
