The volunteer rate on the uncollected sales tax mirrors the percentage of winnings volunteered from bets not requiring a W-2G.

California really is nuts about taxes.
Most Octobers we drive to Monterrey for a few days. One year we received a notice from the California Hwy patrol that demanded we register our vehicle in the state of CA because we had been "seen" several times driving around Monterrey.
They asked that we call the CHP to verify that we did not live in California.
When I called, the officer
demanded that I
prove we still lived in Nevada by faxing him a current power bill.
I asked:
Where was the demand letter sent? "Reno, NV"
Am I calling from a NV number? "Yes."
"Why should I have to prove that I was on vacation?"
Just nuts.
