I'm going to miss his PMs begging for money, his tranny porn and all his posts I've had to hide behind the curtain because they're profane ignorant and overtly immature.

I'll publish them all.

Elsewhere.

 

Wow, begging for money, why would he think you would give him money? He never PM'd me, I might have fallen for it(up to a point).

Reps. Reschenthaler, Titus urge IRS to raise reporting threshold for slot machine winnings

BY DAVE KOVALESKI  |   FEBRUARY 13, 2024   

U.S. Reps. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) and Dina Titus (D-NV) expressed their support for a recent recommendation made by the Internal Revenue Service Advisory Council (IRSAC) on reporting slot machine winnings.

The IRS Advisory Council recommends increasing the reporting threshold for slot machine jackpot winnings to $5,000, to account for inflation.

“We urge you to follow the IRSAC’s recommendation and exercise your authority to raise the threshold for slot machine jackpot winnings to $5,000 and to consider periodic increases to the threshold based on inflation. Taking this action will align with the IRS initiative to strategically use data to improve tax administration and modernize tax reporting for our constituents,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel.

Reschenthaler and Titus are co-chairs of the bipartisan Congressional Gaming Caucus,.

Under the current IRS policy, slot machine jackpot winnings of $1,200 or more require a W-2G tax form. However, this threshold has not been updated since 1977, despite a substantial increase in the number of W-2G forms filed each year.

Due to inflation, the lawmakers said this outdated standard has significantly increased compliance burdens on taxpayers and operating costs for casinos across the country.

Last year, Reschenthaler and Titus introduced the Shifting Limits on Thresholds (SLOT) Act, which would raise the tax threshold for slot winnings from $1,200 to $5,000. The IRSAC now supports this recommendation.

The proposed change has the support from the gaming industry.

“The antiquated slot tax threshold creates unnecessary burdens for consumers, casino operators and the IRS,” American Gaming Association (AGA) President and CEO Bill Miller said. “The AGA commends Representatives Reschenthaler and Titus and other Congressional leaders for their dedicated efforts to modernize this long-outdated policy and join them in urging Commissioner Werfel to raise the threshold.”

$1200 really is stupid

especially when you consider so many of these must-hit-by machines, if it pays $2k but on average you have $1950 into the thing, you are only making $50 when you sit down

Its insanity factoring in the inflation factor.

This really needs to be doubled.

I've been seeing talk of this for the last 10 years, problem is it's only a priority for gamblers and no one cares about us.

I think I went to a casino one time in the last year and of course I hit a $1320 slot and have a W-2G. 2 offset it I sent a 1099 to Fishhead late for $5,800 in gambling losses on Juice Free to offset it. You should be getting it soon FH.

You dont need proof to offset, assuming you itemize you just do it, if you are audited you would need some but that's not happening.
