Now the SSI office is coming after me for not reporting this $1,850 Casino Jackpot. I had the Casino take out my federal taxes automatically and I walked away with $1,032 dollar's and now the SSI wants to know why I didn't report this to them this year? Also, The SSI wants to automatically deduct $83.00 dollars from my SSI check every month for at least the next twelve months. I can't believe this my friends.Should I file my taxes being on SSI Disability thinking I may have a chance of getting a refund for the $468.00 Dollars that I had the casino take From my total winnings that very same day for my federal taxes?

File a tax return to get back any refund due to you.

It is not clear whether you are receiving Social Security benefits or if you are getting SSI---those are not the same thing. There are strict rules with SSI about how much money you can receive from other sources--so when you say "SSI" wants to know about your slot winnings--it makes me wonder which kind of benefits you are receiving.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS AND SSI?

https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/text-over-ussi.htm

If you are receiving Social Security benefits you will get a SSA1099 in January which can be entered on a tax return. And then you will also enter the W-2G for the casino winnings to show the tax that was withheld.

Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.

To enter the W-2G or other documents For your Gambling winnings--Go to Federal>Wages & Income>Less Common Income>Gambling Winnings

If you are actually receiving income from SSI, you will not receive a tax document from them at all. But you can enter the W-2G on a tax return to seek a refund of the tax withheld.
