All info is correct on my form and Turbo and IRS both tell me to ask eachother. There isn't even a box on W2G form for an EIN, and I have the other info CORRECT. I even contacted casino to make sure they didn't have other people with this issue in case somehow one of their number was incorrect in IRS database like it says as a suggestion as to why the rejection happened

If you entered it as regular W-2 wages, it may cause an error. If you entered it in the Job category, click on the trashcan next to the entry. Then enter the W-2G as gambling winnings:

Search for W2G (don't include any hyphens) and select the Jump to link in the search results.
Answer Yes on the Did you win money or other prizes in 2021? screen and follow the instructions to enter your W-2G.

It's in the right place trust me. I do this every year, only without the rejections.

The payer's federal ID number should work. If you have received this form in the past from the same casino, you may want to compare it to one from a prior year. A typo on the form could be causing the rejection.
