    I think a VPN might be an option too just for the OF

    Edit: I did some digging and can’t find anything on OF. I did find info on Steam though. Basically yeah it’s possible but against TOS and tax laws so if you do get caught the penalties are pretty severe and not worth low single digit percentages

        Yeah and something I wasn’t thinking about is they’re just gonna send it to the address you have on file. I’m not sure how to OF signup process works but you might need a ssn for it and then it wouldn’t matter where you were.

        You could get a P.o. box in a foreign state? Then file state taxes there. If you had a local job too then you would be filing 2 states

          If people had as many rights as a corporation, I guess people could “incorporate” in the Cayman Islands or whatever…

          I would think the ones pulling down millions would be smart to buy a second home in a state with zero state income tax (if they don’t have one already), and set that as their primary residence.

          This Fishback guy’s proposal seems rather short on details anyway and I’m not a lawyer or a tax accountant, but I’m sure there would be ways for the ultrarich OF stars to still spends lots of time in Florida and not pay some “sin tax” because some weird Republican guy is butthurt about OF’s existence…
