Learning Objective

  • Review of the income tax issues affecting all forms of gambling income.  
  • Identify reporting gifts given and received from a person within the U.S. and from a person or organization outside the U.S. 
  • Discuss the gifts that may be excluded from federal income tax. 
  • Explain the rules associated with awards received.  
  • Analyze the forms utilized to report the income, losses, and expenses associated with gaming activities.

Course Overview

Many individuals are participating in a variety of gambling activities including horse racing, live and online casino, fantasy sports, and lotteries to name a few. 

With these activities, an individual may have winnings and losses that are subject to federal and possible state income taxes. Gambling winnings are fully taxable, and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has ways of ensuring that it gets its share. Depending on whether the individual is a casual or professional gambler, the reporting requirements differ.  

The question is what amounts are reported and how are they reported. Moreover, the question arises about the losses and gambling expenses. That is, how are they reported and whether the taxpayer can and, if so, how to deduct the expenses.  In addition to gaming events, many individuals receive comps from the gambling establishments, which begs the question of whether the value of the gift and awards are taxable.  These rules are sometimes challenging. In this webinar, we discuss the various gaming activities and the rules that apply to them.

Key topics Covered:

  • Tax Reporting for Gambling Income
  • Deducting Gambling Losses and Expenses
  • Tax Treatment of Gifts and Awards
  • Forms for Reporting Gaming Activities

Join us in this CE Course as we explore tax reporting issues for gambling income, losses, and expenses, along with the reporting of gifts and awards from gaming establishments, including when they can be excluded from federal income tax.

A very appropriate topic for the times with online gambling and fantasy leagues in the mix now. The author was well versed in the subject and got his point across that we all need to be more aware about gambling activities and taxes.
