Reporting Gambling Income with Form W-2G
When it comes to reporting gambling income, Form W-2G is the official tax document used to report certain types of winnings. Here’s what you need to know:
Casino Winnings
A Form W-2G must be issued for bingo or slot wagering transactions when winnings (not reduced by the wager) are $1,200 or more; for keno wagering transactions when winnings (reduced by the wager) are $1,500 or more; and for other qualifying casino games when winnings (reduced by the wager) are $600 or more and are at least 300 times the amount of the wager.
For example: You place a $2 wager on a casino slot game and win $650. After subtracting your wager, your $648 net winnings are over $600 and also more than 300 times your $2 bet (300 × 2 = 600). Because both conditions are met, a Form W-2G is issued.
