kingston13 Posted December 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 20, 2018 You get the tax form on $1200 hit at one time. They do not withhold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klfrodo Posted December 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 20, 2018 If you are a US citizen (and they know your citizenship) any single slot win above $1199 will cause the system to lock you out and require a cash payout. They will then take your information. Either they will give you a 1099G at that time or they may issue the 1099G before the end of the cruise. Any winnings in the casino are reportable as Earned Income IAW United States IRS regulations. I cannot speak about the Win/Loss Statement and possible offset for the 2018 tax regulations. Haven't looked that far into the new tax code. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does not sound right - I hit $1.000 jackpots 3 times in one cruise and had no 1099. My wife just ht a $3,000 jackpot last month and yes they were over to her machine in about 30 seconds with paperwork to fill out and the 1099 was delivered to our stateroom the last day of the cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted December 21, 2018 #7 Share Posted December 21, 2018 The magic number is $1200. I don't think this applies to table games only one large all at once payout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to fill out paperwork for a 1099-MISC after winning $700 in the Snowball drawing on a Premier cruise earlier this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BlerkOne Posted May 23, 2022 #10 Share Posted May 23, 2022 If I win, do I have to pay taxes? We are required to file an IRS form W-2G for all slot jackpots of $1,200 USD or more and for all table game jackpots and payouts where the odds paid are 300 to1 or higher (e.g. some poker progressives and royal/straight flushes). There is normally no tax withheld on slot jackpots if the winner can provide a valid Social Security Number. If you are unable to provide a valid Social Security Number, however, we are required to withhold taxes at a rate of 29%. All table game payouts subject to tax reporting are also subject to withholding at a rate of 26% (29% if a valid Social Security Number cannot be provided). These tax guidelines are for citizens and permanent residents of the United States only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
