Can a W-2G be imported ?

No, Form W-2G cannot be imported into TurboTax. You will have to enter it  manually. Some W-2 forms for employment can be imported, but gambling winnings on W-2G forms require manual data entry.

 

You can enter your Form w2-G using the steps listed below.

 

To enter your gambling winnings in TurboTax Desktop, you will do as follows:

  1. Select "Wages & Income"
  2. Click on "I'll Choose What I Work On?"
  3. Scroll down to "Less Common Income"
  4. Click "Start" by "Prizes, Awards and Gambling Winnings"
  5. Your screen will say Did you win money or other prizes in 2025? Click on Yes
  6. Your next screen will say Did you receive a W-2G? Answer Yes and Continue
  7. Your next screen will say Let's get the details from your W-2G. Enter the information from your Form W-2G in the appropriate boxes and Continue
  8. Follow your TurboTax screens and answer all follow-up questions.
