2026 W-2G Thresholds
What Is a W-2G Form?
Form W-2G is used to report certain gambling winnings to the IRS. When your winnings exceed specific thresholds, the payer (casino, sportsbook, or lottery) must issue a W-2G and send a copy to both you and the IRS. You are required to report all gambling winnings on your tax return, even if no W-2G is issued.
What Changed for Sports Betting W-2G in 2026?
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act raised the W-2G reporting threshold for the first time since 1977. For sports betting, the threshold increased from $600 to $2,000 (net winnings), while maintaining the 300:1 odds requirement. Both conditions must be met. Starting in 2027, the threshold will adjust annually for inflation.
