It's that time of the year again.... TAX TIME and if you don't already know, gambling winnings are taxable income. Hope you kept a logbook of your play throughout the year. Whether you won or lost money last year, keeping a proper record of your wins and losses is very important if you plan to keep more of your winnings at the end of the year.
Assuming you had a lucky day last year and hit a jackpot of $40,000. Before the casino hands over the money, they will make you fill out a W2-G form which lists your name, address and Social Security Number.
The reason you are required to fill out a W2-G form is that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires casinos to report on a W2-G form all players' jackpots of $1,200 and above. In your case, your $40,000 jackpot becomes taxable income. Don't panic yet. Assuming throughout last you lost $100 here and there for a total loss of $12,000. As long as you kept a proper log of your wins and losses, you will have gambling losses to deduct from your winnings thereby lowering your income tax.

Note: Please seek the advice of a Tax Professional on the current tax laws and which records you need to keep.
What is a Win/Loss Statement?
A Las Vegas Casino Win/Loss statement is an estimate of what an individual casino customer won or lost during a calendar year based on the player tracking information.
As far as tax documents go, a win/loss statement is one of the most important communications you had with the casinos you frequent and a very important document your tax professional will need.
Note: It's your responsibility to request a win/loss statement . Don't expect your casino to send it to you automatically.

You need to contact the BINGO room directly as BINGO losses are not included on your win/loss statement - this may help with taxes because unless you had a taxable win at BINGO it only records what you spent - not what you won. | |
