For 14 years, I filed a Schedule C for being self-employed in Gaming
(archaically know as gambling). All the W2-g's I received had printed on one of
the back of one of the sheets that you only needed to send them in if you
had withholding. I never did so I sent none in. People would tell me all the
time that you had to send them in. This included a person who worked for
the IRS. The first three years I received a letter asking where my gambling
winnings were. I replied and heard no more. The rest of the years I received
nothing. Back before the IRS got tougher, many W2-g's did not get into the
system The President Casino in St. Louis was good for missing some. The
W2-g's should have the information still printed on their backs. Reading
things like this helps.
