I want to look over some hand histories again, but it's going to be annoying because stars sends them in reverse chronological order. Any way to change that?

In the main lobby, Requests > Hand History... then enter the tournament number (2039022) in the fourth box.

You are required to pay income taxes to the US, EXCEPT, you are permitted to take deductions from those taxes for foreign taxes paid.

Example: You make $100,000 in a foreign land. They tax you 30%, or $30,000. In the U.S. you would be in the top tax bracket which is 39.6% (I think, it may have changed recently) so you would be required to pay $39,600. You could take the $30,000 as a credit against this, and you would owe the IRS $9,600.

I work back office at the bank - so I don't deal with it every day so please, just had to learn it as part of my training.

So please don't take this as "expert advice" - but I would suspect once a month should be far enough apart - also vary the amount, maybe 5K, then 3K, then 6K.

If you can't live off that amount - Let's trade lifes!

You either

b) pay a dividen to yourself and your wife for yearly performance.
c) give yourself a year-end bonus which you will pay taxes on

This is so wrong it is laughable. See my response below.

Come to England we don't pay tax on gambling income because the casino is already taxed on the rake, or the overround on horses. How the hell do you (add word) put up with that [censored].

BTW we have more than enough absurdity in our legal system to, as law is always absurd where ever we are.

With all the advices you have received, it looks to me that you, at least, are contemplating of avoiding (or is it evading?) paying taxes. If so, go all-in and good luck!

I'd rather not always have to be watching over my shoulder for the IRS, so I think I'm just gonna get an accountant to help me pay as little as I can manage but pay it off.
