Some of you are confused on what triggers a W-2G from sports wagering.

To see specific details on what triggers a W-2G, log in to MGM, go to W-2 tax form, then click on For more information about the W2G process visit our FAQ page here.

[pologq]

what about this? it doesn't mention the 300 to 1 payout

• If you win $600 or more at a gambling facility be prepared to receive Form W-2G (Certain Gambling Winnings). A copy of this form will also be sent to the IRS, so be sure that any gambling winnings you report on your income tax return are at least equal to the sum of any Forms W-2G you receive.

I’ve placed 1k wagers and won with them and it says I have not triggered a W-2G event in 2022.

This doesn’t mean I shouldn’t report the income, just that I won’t receive a W-2g. Wink wink

[pologq]

Understood. I remember my dad explaining it like when he was hitting triples sometimes at OTB but i forgot specifics.

so if I bet 50 cents and it is 300-1 where i win $150 it is taxable. however, unless i win $5K at one site on regular betting I am OK?

They recently changed the law with horses. Used to be any payout of $600 or more, now they go by total ticket wager. So now if you have a ticket $1 tri box, totaling a $6 bet, you don’t have to pay taxes if it paid for example $1,100. I believe this in particular example would need to pay $1,800 (300-1) to trigger a W-2g

That would not trigger a w-g because it has to be $600 or more AND be 300-1 the total wager on the ticket

Feel bad for you Americans in the land of the free. Having to pay taxes on winning. Not here in Canada. I guess they take those tax dollars and use it for our free health care. Thanks guys.

Where is this bullet point from?

For the last time, you will only receive a W-2G from an online sportsbook if you hit a single winning wager at 300-1 odds or higher. That's it. Period and end of story. Nevertheless, you are required to report all income.

Im pretty sure it must be at least a $600 win AND 300-1. So if you bet $1 on a 400-1 shot you would not get a W-2g

can't be taxed if you lose

Actually not true. In some states you can be subject to state tax if you net lose on the year but you took cashouts

thats ****** up

[weeminer]

Sportsbooks don't send out tax forms to players unless you hit a 300x $600+ bet. Could be up a million on their app, but if it's all straight bets, you won't get anything from them related to taxes.

It's actually much worse than this. If you're not a professional bettor, you actually owe taxes on all your winning bets, but cannot deduct your losing bets. Don't think anyone actually follows this, but that is the rule.

[Bostongambler]

Lol..

😂 😂 😂

[pavyracer]

Lets ask JohnnyVegas. He is 2-105 in his ML bets this year so he knows how to deduct his gambling losses from his taxes.

That’s incorrect. The irs code is pretty specific that for casual gamblers meaning not professionals you can claim up to your losses at the federal level as long as you itemize them.
At the state level it’s different depending on your state
