<<Maybe years ago casinos might have asked to see a SS card, but not now
(at least not any of the casinos I visit), and I get plenty of
taxables. Many people no longer carry their SS cards, so casinos would
be fighting a losing battle if they required people to show their SS
cards if they hit a taxable jackpot. They do require a valid photo ID,
and they typically ask for your SS# so they can fill in the W2-G form.>>
We cover this subject at length in the tax book. It usually isn't a
problem. Giving them your SS# orally (or write it down for them) usually is
enough. But you need to know about Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer
Identification Number and Certification. By signing this form, you are
certifying, under penalties of perjury, that this is your SS number. A few
casinos (mainly Indian casinos) don't seem to know about this form.
