If there's more than 30, you cannot e-file them,
you list the lump sum, if there's less than 30,
you can list them and e-file. E-filing helps
when the IRS does income document matching to
make sure you didn't miss a W-2G. With a lump
sum, they might come back if the numbers don't match up, even if your're right.
