I have hit a number of W-2G jackpots over the years at Mohegan
Sun, which is an Indian property, and they have always asked me
if I wanted them to withhold federal tax. I usually have them
do it, so I don't end up owing taxes when I file my return.
I'm curious though, TR, why do you think an Indian casino would
withhold taxes from non-citizens? Non-citizens usually don't have
social security numbers, so how would the casino report these
taxes?
