[Event] Ask the Experts: Extension Filers

SHORT ANSWER
Yes, you can file your taxes even without the physical W2-G forms, especially if you know they are on file with the IRS. Since your attempts to obtain the forms directly from the payers have been unsuccessful, you can rely on your IRS Wage and Income Transcript to retrieve the necessary details. Keep in mind that you are still required to report all gambling income, regardless of whether you have the forms in hand.
