for tax year 2022, I have a client thas over 200 w2g - gambling winning. I listed all the winnings on an excel sheet and summarized the total.  Can I overide the w2g field amount and enter the grand total from my excel sheet.  I do not want to enter 200 W2Gs since there was no federal taxes taken out.

Is there some where I can insert attachment?

thanks,

John

Group into payors and then just enter one W2G for each payor using the totals on your spreadsheet.

I just total them up by casino and make a single W2g entry for each casino, I dont attach anything.

If it were a paper filed return all IRS would see is a total amount of gambling winnings, so dont overthink it.

But if paper filed the IRS would also see all of the attached W-2g forms that have withholding.

I don't encounter these much but folks who do just seem to aggregate them without any ill effects.  I would consider entering separately anything showing withholding but that may depend on the dollars involved.

Maybe I misread, I thought it said there was no withholding.
