Okay, Nevada doesn't have a state income tax so nobody has to worry about that state. However, for traveling pros who play all over the country state income taxes could be a problem. I think most pros do report their gambling winnings, but wonder if they go as far as to prepare many state income tax returns.
I don't expect many answers on this, as I know folks don't like to talk about such items on public forums. For many recreational gamblers they may not meet the other states min income limits to have to file, but I would think many pros would. For example WI has a non resident income limit of only $2,000 anything over that they want some of your money. By contrast, if you were a nonresident in MN. Minnesota taxes your gambling winnings from Minnesota. If your Minnesota gross income meets the state’s minimum filing requirement ($10,650 for 2018), you must file Form M1 and include Schedule M1NR.
