Is a W2G considered income?

The IRS requires U.S. citizens to report all gambling winnings as income, whether or not they receive a W2-G. Winnings from gambling, lotteries, and contests must be reported as Other Income on Form 1040. Cash and the cash value of prizes are taxable. State and local taxes may be due on winnings.

What happens if you dont report W2G?

If you receive a W-2G and do not report the income on your tax return, the IRS will likely send you a CP2000, Underreported Income notice. This IRS notice will propose additional tax, penalties and interest on the unreported gambling winnings and any other unreported income.

Do I need to attach W2G to my tax return?

When you paper-file the return and attach the Forms W-2G you received, you will be providing the detailed information that you did not enter in the program so the IRS is able to match your reported winnings with the forms they have received from the payer.
