<<Potowatami in Milwaukee, WI, continues to require a SS card for all W2-
G events. If you don't carry yours, you must fill out a W-9 and they
withhold 35% for federal and state taxes.)
They are wrong. Once you fill out the W-9 they shouldn't withhold federal
tax - I'm not sure about state tax but probably not that either. But some
of these Indian casinos just aren't up to snuff on federal regulations. If
you play there a lot, you might want to speak to higher management!!
Otherwise, arguing after you get a W-2G might just be too time-consuming.

The above situation is a very rare one, usually only in small Indian
casinos. In Vegas, you won't have this hassle. Just tell them your #
orally (or write it on a piece of paper and give it to them) and there won't
be a problem. Sometimes you might be given a W-9 form you need to fill out
and sign, but usually you won't even be given that.
