UncleMo Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I'm thinking about signing myself up for gameshows and am wondering how much the IRS will rob, I mean, tax my earnings. :not: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil1182 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I believe it's 40% just like the Lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Unit Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Why they don't tax your winning's out there? Becuase the US is much greedier :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean12131982 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Nope, we don't get taxed on it. What we win is what we take home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonj92 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Good luck, I've applied for the Jepeordy teen tournament the last 5 years, and havn't got so much as an email. I tried out this year because they have the online test and I haven't gotten an E-mail yet, which means I probably didn't make it. Kenyess the teen test was on Sept 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinsMS_35 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Well I'm playing the lucky case game on Deal or No deal. I can actually maybe do kids jeopardy. I looked at the cutoff for teen, and im around 20 days too young. Imaging me, a 5'7" kid with all those little munchkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonj92 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 so i'm not the only one who tried that... How many out of the 50 did you all miss? or think you missed? I dunno. I don't think I missed too many. Probably 10-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleMo Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 I'm not looking to screw around with a game show that takes brains. I have enough smarts to know that a street smarts guy like myself that has the absense of book knowledge never should appear on Jeapordy. I've taken a look at Deal Or No Deal and have a plan on what times to back out of the show and hit No Deal so as to maximize my earnings. And my teachers said I'd never muh, muh, make anything of myself. Edit: I meant, hit "Deal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to an open casting last February it was crazy they ask you a few questions and they say they'll call you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angryrat Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I feel sorry for you Americans in this department of having your winnings taxed. before you get too excited, im sure they take that money from you in other ways. If your english, I think they tax your tv watching, right? It's all the same, they just take it with different titles on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
