Class Description
This webinar will focus on the tax implications of gambling, and how it could impact our clients who gamble/d. Many clients may not file taxes accurately or know how to work with the IRS to resolve inaccurate income tax filings. Learn some of the major differences between brick and mortar vs. online, as it relates to gambling tax reporting. Learn more about W2-Gs, Win/Loss Reporting, and what happens if someone self-excludes. We will provide participants with various resources to help clients that become involved with the IRS.
