Bottom line.No W-2G don't worry about it.If you get a W-2G you can write off the same amount won.Unless you won a very large amount it is a wash.

Only people who pay taxes when gambling are the Megamillion and Powerball winners......so if you didnt one of those or some other documented jackpot then just keep moving along.

Even if you do owe some taxes and you dont pay em when they find out the penalties are minor.

PEACE

Sorry I was joking. I have used a traditional book for years until 5 years ago. I have an accountant who I give all my sh*t too, we then pencil whip the devil out of it twice, and i write a check so i think you do pay taxes but there are some things you can do over all, but im no expert.

What part of Atlanta do you live
