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.
One of the best things about Tennessee is its beauty. Reporter, Chris Davis, certainly makes the most of it as an avid hunter and fisherman. When he turned the spotlight on the potential funding shortfall the TWRA is facing - it hit a nerve with many of our viewers. To find out more, make sure to watch this story.
