FISHING TOURNAMENT WINNINGS

[Marie]

Are the winnings taxable in the state he was fishing in? (not his home state)  He received a 1099

It sounds similar to NBA players having to file tax returns in every state in which they play a game.

[Marie]

Have others filed in other states.  The 1099 came from Indiana, but the fising was is Louisana

I would file in his home state as most states taxes all income for residents.  Then file a non resident state tax return in where he fished and earned the money.

It's taxable in both states. File a non-resident state return where he earned the fishing money for all earnings sourced to that state. File a resident state return with his worldwide income, but take a credit for taxes paid to the other state.
