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.
I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
