Question: Regarding US citizen retireing to a free world country.?

If a US citizen who is now retired & drawing SSSA & a military retirement decides to retire to a free world country ie; Philippines, my question is this. Are those annuities still subject to Federal Income Tax as well as CA state taxes?

Answer: Thats a good question.

I would suggest that you consult a tax attorney near you or try and speak with someone in the IRS to be sure.

It’s best to be absolutely sure so that the American government won’t try and stick you with tax evasion charges.

Good luck and have a great retirement.

The Peace Corps remains a shining example of what US foreign policy might be. It is far more important than the military model in addressing the overwhelming crises that will give birth to violence in our future.

Question: Do you claim your taxes from your online poker winnings? Are you even suppose to claim it as tax? +++?

What happens if I try and cash out $500, am I suppose to pay the tax for this ammount? BTW, I play on pokerstars and live in Canada.

Also, one more question hopefully someone can answer: Pokerstars replied to me in an email and said that if I request my cashout in CDN (since I live in Canada) and that if my cashout is equal to $1,000 USD or more, that I can get free courier service. How come it has to be over $1,000 USD for them to give you free courier service?

Im asking because I have never deposited nor cashed out from pokerstars, and this will be my first cashout, so I’d like to make sure that I do it correctly and receieve my cash.
Thanks very much if you can answer and give me some insight, and 10 points to the person who answer my 2 questions correctly!

Answer: You seem to be asking a lot of questions that can more easily be answered by pokerstars. They are very good at answering questions.

I don’t know Canada tax law, but in the US, you are supposed to declare the income in the year you won it, doesn’t matter when you cash it out. I’m not suggesting a lot of people follow the rules, but that’s what they are.

And courier service costs money. Just get regular mail. But I guess they’ll suck up the charge for people cashing out a larger amount to be nice to their higher playing customers.

10 points to the person that answers them correctly? If you knew the answer, then why are you asking? If you don’t know the answer, then how can you say that?

And Your Hotel Will Be …

I HAVE never been much of a gambler when it comes to vacations. I like to know when I am traveling (no standby airline tickets for me) and where I am headed. But with hotels I am generally flexible, as long as the location is central, the room comfortable and the price fair.
