NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — If you are one of the millions who placed a bet on the Super Bowl, and you won some money, you're going to have to report those winnings to the IRS!

I just heard about this and did some research so you don't get stuck when tax day comes in 2025.

Generally, if you win more than $600 the place you won it will send you a W-2 G-Form.

In Tennessee, there is no state income tax. So, you won't need to pay state taxes.

However, you'll need to pay federal taxes!

Experts say you can deduct gambling losses, but you need to itemize them on a 'Schedule A' -- which is a 1040 form.

This year's Super Bowl winnings or losses would need to be reported for next tax season, since the game was in 2024.

You'll want to keep records and get a tax professional's help if you get stuck.

Tennessee AG is suing fertility clinic for abandoning patients

Growing your family, no matter the journey to get there, is an emotional one. My heart aches for these families who trusted a Nashville fertility clinic with their dreams and finances. Hannah McDonald's relentlessness to find answers is journalism at its best and hopefully a new avenue of hope for the patients caught up in this mess.
