How do I enter a W-2G?
Gambling payers issue a separate Form W-2G (Certain Gambling Winnings) for each qualifying win, so you might have several to add.
You can add a W-2G to your return a few different ways:
Upload it from your computer or mobile device
Snap a photo of it
Type it in yourself
Enter your W-2G in TurboTax Online or the TurboTax mobile app
Go to W-2G under Income in the Federal section.
Answer Yes on the Did you win money or other prizes in 2025? screen.
Choose how you want to add your W-2G:
Select Upload to add a PDF, JPEG, or PNG from your computer or mobile device.
Select Snap a photo, then hold your phone or tablet over the QR code and tap the link that appears.
Select Type it in myself to enter your W-2G by hand.
Review what we filled in against your form, make any corrections, and select Continue.
Enter your W-2G in TurboTax Desktop
Go to Federal Taxes.
Go to Wages & Income.
If asked, How do you want to enter your income?, select I'll choose what I work on.
Under Less Common Income, select Start or Update next to Prizes, Awards, and Gambling Winnings.
Answer Yes on the Did you win money or other prizes in 2025? screen and follow the instructions to enter your W-2G.
After you've finished entering all of your gambling winnings, we'll ask about any losses you may have had. Losses can be deducted up to the amount you reported winning, but only if you itemize.
