New Electronic Filing Mandate

The IRS now requires electronic filing of 10 or more information returns beginning with tax year 2023.

Key Requirements

If you filed a TCC application before September 26, 2021, you must reapply and verify identity through ID.me.
Paper filing is only allowed if you have 10 or fewer returns.
As a result, more companies are adopting third-party e-filing services.

About IRS Form W2--G

IRS Form W-2G, “Certain Gambling Winnings,” is a tax form used to report gambling winnings to the IRS.

Who Issues Form W-2G

The paying entity (like a casino or racetrack) issues Form W-2G to the winner and sends a copy to the IRS.

Who Receives Form W-2G

A person who wins gambling amounts above certain thresholds will receive a W-2G form. Common types of winnings and thresholds include:

1. $1,200 or more from bingo or slot machine
2 .$1,500 or more from keno (after subtracting the wager)
3. $5,000 or more from poker tournaments
4. $600 or more from other types of gambling (such as horse racing or lotteries) if the payout is at least 300 times the wager

Purpose of Form W-2G

I have used 1099 Fire for a number of years to prepare and file 1099 and NEC01 data for our multiple entities and highly recommend this service. It is easy to use, the data can be reviewed prior to sending and they mail the 1099/NEC's directly to the recipients, eliminating that hassle.

We did it again! We have been using 1099Fire to generate our 1094’s and 1095’s since the Affordable Care Act was passed and the filings were required. The customer service is 5 stars! Dan, Amy, and Abby are always very helpful and professional. I would strongly recommend them for all your filing needs.

I'd tried a competitor but have never changed since trying 1099Fire. They PICK UP THE PHONE and help with issues. I've tried both outsourcing to them (ACA reporting) and doing it myself, using their software. I went back to outsourcing, seeing how much time it can take to fix errors, how many complications can arise, and how much the IRS can F__k you for getting this wrong. Highly recommend 1099Fire! Dan and Amy are phenomenal!
