IRS Form W-2G (Tax Year 2026)

No. Our W-2G filing service eliminates the need for IRS IRIS setup, TCC registration, or ID.me verification on your end. Simply upload your spreadsheet and we handle the XML generation, validation, and IRS transmission through our IRS-approved A2A channel.

Upload your W-2G data securely through our portal and we will prepare the IRS XML files and recipient PDFs for your review. Once approved, we electronically transmit the filing directly to the IRS through IRIS and provide confirmation once accepted.

Form W-2G is commonly used to report certain gambling winnings from:

• Casinos
• Sports betting
• Horse racing
• Lottery winnings
• Poker tournaments
• Bingo and keno payouts

Reporting requirements depend on the type of wager, payout amount, and whether federal withholding applies.

Yes. Our service supports both small businesses and large-scale transmitters with high-volume W-2G filing needs. Multiple payers and large recipient datasets can be included within a single submission.

1099FIRE previously sold W-2G software for the IRS FIRE System, where users could generate a file and upload it through the IRS website. IRIS is different. For W-2G filing, there is no simple IRS upload screen where users can browse for a file and submit it themselves. IRIS transmissions must be sent through a secure A2A channel.

Because the A2A connection cannot be packaged as normal downloadable software, we now provide a W-2G e-filing service instead. Send us your Excel file, and we handle the data import, validation, recipient PDFs, XML creation, and IRS IRIS transmission on your behalf.
