Instructions to Winner
Box 1. The payer must furnish a Form W-2G to you if you
receive:
1. $1,200 or more in gambling winnings from bingo or
slot machines;
2. $1,500 or more in winnings (reduced by the wager)
from keno;
3. More than $5,000 in winnings (reduced by the wager
or buy-in) from a poker tournament;
4. $600 or more in gambling winnings (except winnings
from bingo, keno, slot machines, and poker tournaments)
and the payout is at least 300 times the amount of the
wager; or
5. Any other gambling winnings subject to federal
income tax withholding.
Generally, report all gambling winnings under the “Other
income” line of Schedule 1 (Form 1040). You can deduct
gambling losses as an itemized deduction, but you cannot
deduct more than your winnings. Keep an accurate record
of your winnings and losses, and be able to prove those
amounts with receipts, tickets, statements, or similar items
that you have saved. For additional information, see Pub.
529 and Pub. 525.

Box 4. Any federal income tax withheld on these winnings
is shown in this box. Federal income tax must be withheld
on certain winnings less the wager.
Certain winnings that are not subject to regular gambling
withholding may be subject to backup withholding if you
did not provide your taxpayer identification number (TIN) to
the payer.
Include the amount shown in box 4 on your Form 1040
or 1040-SR as federal income tax withheld. See Pub. 505
for additional information.
Signature. You must sign Form W-2G if you are the only
person entitled to the winnings and the winnings are
subject to regular gambling withholding. Return the signed
form to the payer, who will give you your copies.
Other winners. Prepare Form 5754 if another person is
entitled to any part of these winnings. Give Form 5754 to
the payer, who will use Form 5754 to prepare Form W-2G
for each person listed as a winner.
Future developments. For the latest information about
developments related to Form W-2G and its instructions,
such as legislation enacted after they were published, go
