Taxes situation, complicated.

[partygirluk]

Currently reside in the UK. Pay 0 tax on poker winnings. Want to do PhD in States. U.S citizens pay tax on poker winnings. This sucks. Most of my poker winnings I would save up, until the day I decide to buy a property. I currently have a US$ account registered in the U.K. Have no idea if I would be able to keep it if I moved abroad.

Anyway, the sums we are talking about could be significant enough to deter me from studying in the U.S, but I do really really want to. What are my options? What is the tax rate?

Thanks,
