[vpFREE] Re: Class III Now at Wind Creek Casino in Alabama?

 

Thanks very much for taking a look at these machines. I certainly wasn't going to ask to have them added to the database without some confirmation first.

There was no bingo card on the screen shot I was sent, maybe because the photo did not show the sides and top beyond the display of the cards and paytable (BTW which was 99.42% 15/10/4/4 DW).

Wonder if some casinos didn't get the change memo!!!!

Subject: [vpFREE] Re: More questions about Ohio gambling state and city taxes

Maybe this will help some, Jean. It appears that 6% was withheld until June 12, 2012. Thereafter it was 4%:

"Pursuant to R.C. 5747.063, if a person's winnings at a casino facility are such that the IRS requires reporting on form W-2G or 1042-S ($1,200 or more not reduced by the wager for slot winnings; more than $5,000 reduced by the wager or buy-in for table win; or $600 or more if the winnings are more than 300 times the amount wagered or are subject to federal income tax withholding), the casino operator shall deduct and withhold Ohio income tax from the person's winnings at a rate of four percent (4%) of the amount won. (Please note that, prior to June 12, 2012, each casino operator was required to withhold Ohio income tax at a rate of six percent (6%) for those people meeting the thresholds mentioned above.)"

That's from the Ohio Dept of Taxation website:

http://www.tax.ohio.gov/faq/tabid/6315/Default.aspx?QuestionID=627&AFMID=11354

That link should open to FAQ #52, "Will the casino withhold any amounts from my casino winnings for Ohio income taxes?"

RE: [vpFREE] More questions about Ohio gambling state and city taxes

 

Jean

You may want to consider sending an e mail each of the casinos and ask them
what the withholding rates on W2G's are for Ohio and respective City. I
would think that they would respond to your question in a timely manner. I
can' imagine that the WH rate would be 6% unless they are combining the city
and state tax WH.

Subject: [vpFREE] More questions about Ohio gambling state and city taxes

I'm thoroughly confused right now. Does Ohio withhold 4% or 6% from W2-G
jackpots? I've had reports of both of these figures, but I assume it is
standard across the state. Can some of you actually look at your W2-G's and
verify the percentage in the "State tax" box.

I just received this from someone who lives outside the Cleveland city
limits, but plays at Cleveland Horseshoe Casino:

<<I just received another W2g this past Friday. Box 14, labeled State Income
Tax withheld, has 6% of my jackpot total. Nowhere on the W2g is there any
mention of City Tax.>>

This verifies the previous info I had that Cleveland only taxes residents so
would only withhold for residents. Since Columbus and Cincinnati taxes both
residents and non-residents I believe that both of those withhold city taxes
for everyone. Can some of you personally verify those details by looking at
your W2-G's from each of those cities, and be sure to add whether you are a
resident of that particular city.

This subject may put me over the edge!!!! I've combed the Internet and not
found this specific information.

[vpFREE] Re: Class III Now at Wind Creek Casino in Alabama?

 

I'm headed south on I-65 this morning and decided, at Atmore, that a restroom break wouldn't hurt ...

Did your friend happen to mention anything about the prominent "bingo card" on these IGT screens? (would have thought it would be evident in the screen shot you saw)

At any rate, didn't test play. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume Class III was mistakenly installed for a couple of days.
