1 Best answerAs suggested above, you'll need to contact the form's issuer -- for example, a casino or racetrack where you've gambled -- to request a duplicate copy if they've already sent you one, or for an original if they haven't.
If this is unsuccessful, you can contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and request that they send you a copy. The Form W-2G issuer sends a copy of your W-2G to the IRS to report your winnings. See IRS Tax Topic No. 154 Form W-2 and Form 1099-R (What to Do if Incorrect or Not Received) for more information.

If you have lost your Form W-2G , you can contact the Gambling issuer (casino) and request a duplicate copy. Alternatively, you can contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and ask them to send you a copy.
NOTE : The Gambling issuer (casino) sends a copy of your W-2G to the IRS to report your winnings.

If you know how much the winnings/withholdings were then you do not need the form . just say you did not get a form even though you did and follow the screens . all that is sent to the IRS is a total figure and NOT the form . having a form screen to enter the winnings is for YOUR use only.
March 9, 2020 11:49 AMBest advice I've seen. The high limit winnings were accrued but I never received W2G's
March 10, 2020 4:40 PM Expert AlumniIf you did not complete a Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number) the casino did not do withholding- although you may have provided the information if you signed up for one of their loyalty cards. You can always call the casino if you are not sure.

I can't find my w2 want do i do
May 28, 2020 1:04 PM Expert AlumniAre you talking about your W-2 or W-2G?
The advice for the W-2G above needs to be modified for the current situation in which no one at the IRS is answering the phone.
Instead, try to get a transcript online.
Go to the Get Transcript page at the IRS. You will want to ask for the " Wage and Income Transcript ". See if you can get it online.
Note that if you are missing your W-2, that you can use this same process to get your W-2 information as well.

Now that I have my transcript, can I ask a follow on question?
Using Turbo Tax, since I still don't have the ADMIN data for the Payer (Federal ID number, address). is it permissible just to group the winnings into one "Non-W-2G issued" payout, since you say all they want to see is the Dollar amounts match up. I am claiming gambling winnings that match gambling winning reported?
Or should I go through the legwork, past year tax files, to see if I have an archived W-2g and use that admin data?
June 19, 2020 12:17 PMJust enter the winnings as if you did not receive the W-2G form . the entry of that form in the TT program is for YOUR use only and not for the IRS . all they want is a total on the return.

Gambling losses can only be deducted up to the amount of the gambling winnings. Gambling winnings are reported on Form 1040 Schedule 1 on Line 8 as Other Income. Gambling Losses are reported on Form 1040 Schedule A as a Miscellaneous itemized deduction. Gambling losses are not a one-for-one reduction in winnings. Your total itemized deductions reported on Form 1040 Schedule A must be greater than the standard deduction for your filing status to have any tax benefit.
