Prepare Form W-2G records in the 1099ERICH Windows software. Import supported Excel or CSV data, review certain gambling winnings and federal income tax withholding, and create filing output for the free IRS IRIS Taxpayer Portal.
Prepare Form W-2G using our Windows software and upload through the IRS IRIS Taxpayer Portal, or ask ERICH about managed e-filing. Software purchases and filing services are separate.
For casinos and gaming operators preparing their own information returns.
For teams and accounting professionals preparing larger batches of Form W-2G returns.
Ask about a managed Form W-2G filing. Eligibility, form type, tax year and record volume determine pricing.
Software: Each recipient form generated for an IRIS CSV filing file counts toward your license allowance; IRS portal file limits are separate. See counting examples. Managed filing: The posted $300 flat-fee tiers on our e-filing pricing page apply to eligible 1099-NEC returns; other form types are quoted individually.
For casinos, gaming operators and other gambling-winnings payers. Form W-2G is an IRS information return for gambling winnings, not the SSA Form W-2 wage return.
A casino needs to prepare information returns for reportable winning events. The record may include the winner, wager, winnings, game category, date and tax withheld.
Form-specific check: Form W-2G reports certain gambling winnings to the IRS; it is not the same as Form W-2 wages sent through the SSA. Different game and wager types can have different reporting triggers.
Before importing: Match each reportable gambling event to cage, ticket or payout records before preparing the IRS file.
Prepare your filing data with the software, then submit an eligible CSV through the free IRS IRIS Taxpayer Portal using your own IRIS account. The IRS does not charge a portal filing fee.
