or sports wagers. identifying the information
reporting requirements and withholding requirements.

Now I'm going to turn it over to Stan,
let him take control and get us started,
OK, thank you, Carole,
Sports gambling is not defined in the Internal Revenue Code,
However, according to the Professional and Amateur Sports
Protection Act, sports gambling is a lottery, sweepstakes, or
other betting, gambling, or wagering scheme based directly
or indirectly, through the use of geographical references or
otherwise, on one or more competitive games in which amateur
or professional athletes participate, or are intended to participate.
or on one or more performances of such as athletes in such games,
Now, according to Wikipedia. sports betting is the activity
Now, according to Wikipedia. sports betting is the activity
of predicting sports results and placing a wager on the outcome,
Sports betting can also extend to non-human contests such as
horse racing and greyhound racing, and even to non-athletic
events such as reality show contests and political elections,
It's also not uncommon for wagers to be placed on
entertainment events such as the Grammy Awards, the Oscars and
the Emmy Awards,
Wagering taxes are an excise tax imposed by the Internal Revenue Code.
often abbreviated or referenced as IRC,
It's under Section 4401 and it covers both legal and illegal
gaming transactions,
The tax is required if you're in the business of accepting wagers
or conduct a wagering pool or lottery,
Occupational taxes are an excise tax imposed by IRC Section 4411.
and it's imposed on principals or agents who accept taxable wagers
and is required to register with the Internal Revenue Service,
Various court cases, including Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma v,
the United States and Chickasaw nation v. the United States
as well as Revenue ruling 94-81. confirm that Indian tribal governments
are subject to the wagering excise tax and the occupational tax,
Many tribes are familiar with the wagering and occupational
taxes because they currently file them for various gaming
activities offered in their casinos,
Wagering taxes apply based on the gaming activities offered.
including but not limited to: Paper pull tabs; Keno - if over
20 games on a single bet, in which the patron has over
24 hours to claim a prize, are placed;
Wagering pools, which include any method or method or scheme for giving prizes
to one or more winning betters based on the outcome
of a sports event, contest or combination
or series of these events or contests;
A lottery, which includes any method or scheme for the
distribution of prizes among persons who have paid or
promised to pay for a chance to win the prize,
such as a numbers game, punch boards and raffles,
For purposes of the wagering excise tax.
this doesn't include any game in which the wagers are placed
the winners are determined,
and the prizes are awarded in the presence of all persons
who placed wagers in the lottery,
And a sports event,
which includes every type of amateur.
scholastic or professional sports competition,
If a casino changes the gaming activities offered by their casino.
they need to be aware of the possibility that the new
activity might be subject to wagering and occupational taxes,
Now wagering taxes do not apply to:
coin operated devices, which includes slot machines,
pinball machines, or video games;
State sweepstakes, wagering pools or lotteries.
Note that tribal sweepstakes, wagering pools or lotteries are not
covered currently by this exception;
Exempt organization drawings such as raffles held by an
organization exempt from tax under Sections 501 or 521 of the
Internal Revenue Code as long as the net proceeds don't benefit a
private shareholder or individual;
And parimutuel wagering which includes horse racing,
dog racing, or jai alai when licensed by state law,
Now, you may wonder, does this exception for parimutuel
wagering apply to sports wagering?
The answer is no, because when placing parimutuel wagers you
don't get fixed odds,
Payouts depend on two factors:
how many people placed a wager on an event
and how many people picked the winner,
Payouts are officially calculated after the betting has closed,
In sports wagering, generally. you are offered fixed odds
when you place the wager,
Once your bet is placed,
the odds applicable to your wager can't change,
Let's just take a moment here to try answering this question,
Wagering taxes apply to:
A. Coin operated devices; B, Parimutuel wagering;
C. Lotteries; D. Keno;
E. Both A and B; or F. Both C and D
Like you to take a moment to think about this, take a look at
the question and put your answer in text chat if you would,
Once again, we're looking to see which one of these transaction
or types of wagers, I should say, the wagering taxes apply.
whether it be coin operated devices, parimutuel wagering.
lotteries, Keno or a combination of coin operated devices and
parimutuel wagering and final selection, a combination of
lotteries and keno,
Stan, we do have several answers that are coming in and they've
all been listening very carefully because it looks like
they're all answering F,
Well, this is a good thing because the correct answer is F.
both lotteries and keno are subject to the wagering excise tax,
The reason that it's not coin operated devices is that there
was a specific exception that was mentioned for it as well as
for parimutuel wagers,
However, with lotteries there is a small exception for
state-operated or state-run lotteries,
But in general, lotteries are subject to the wagering taxes
But in general, lotteries are subject to the wagering taxes
and also with regard to Keno. Keno in general is going to be
subject to the wagering tax if it's one of the larger games
where the wagerer is able to place bets on 20 or more numbers
on a single ticket and they're given additional time to redeem
their winning ticket,
Alright, so occupational taxes,
We're gonna talk about those next,
These taxes are imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 4411
and they are imposed on any person who accepts taxable
wagers on behalf of either themself or another person.
where taxable wagers are wagers reported under the wagering tax
Form 730,
Now a cage cashier who only pays winning tickets and does not
accept wagers, does not need to file and pay this occupational tax,
But an individual who sells pull tabs, or who, with regard to
But an individual who sells pull tabs, or who, with regard to
sports book, would be responsible for accepting wagers
with regard to the sports book. would be someone who would be
subject to this occupational tax,
Under Internal Revenue Code Section 4412, each person
required to pay the occupational tax must register with the IRS.
and this registration and payment
and this registration and payment takes place on or is
is done by filing the Form 11-C.
The Form 11-C is an annual form that we'll be talking about
a little bit more in just a few moments,
OK, speaking of forms, let's discuss the forms required to be
filed for wagering and occupational taxes,
Form 730, the Monthly Tax Return for Wagers, is used by those in
business of accepting wagers to report and pay the
federal excise tax on those same wagers,
Now the wagering tax is imposed on the gross amount of the
wagers accepted, not on the net wager,
Also, the wager is taxed at the time it is accepted, not when
the game occurs or not when a payout is made,
Form 730 is due at the end of each month following the month
that the taxable wagers were accepted,
So currently, for example, we're in the month of June,
Any wagers accepted during this month, for instance, would be
due on the monthly form filed by the end of July,
If you have a month where you have no taxable wagers to report
you still would file the return. but in the entry space
for Line 6, Balance due, you would write, "None" and you
would sign and date the form,
Now the tax rate is generally going to be 1/4 of 1% for
taxable wagers if provided that they are authorized under state law,
The rate for wagers that are not authorized under state law is 2%.
so it's a higher rate for the unauthorized wagers,
Sports wagers could be authorized or unauthorized based
upon state law and, whether or not with regard to tribal casinos,
for example, whether or not there's a compact between
the tribe and the state,
Now under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, sports wagers
are considered Class III gaming. which does require a compact,
As a result, tribes or Indian casinos should not have to pay
the 2% tax since accepting sports wagers should require a
signed compact, meaning that it would be authorized under state law,
Form 11-C is the occupational tax and registration return for wagering,
It must be filed by both the principal and the agent before
taxable wagers are accepted and then it must be filed annually
by July 1st, as long as wagers continue to be accepted,
Now, as with the excise tax itself. there are two different rates,
The annual tax rate is $50,
if wagers are authorized understate law
and the rate for wagers that are not authorized under state law is $500,
This tax is prorated for the first year that wagers are accepted,
So for example, if you just begin accepting wagers that are
subject to the excise tax, and depending on what month of the
year you begin accepting them. you may not pay the full $50 amount,
If, for example, you started in the month of January,
six months into the year, you'd essentially be paying half a year's worth of tax
or in this case $25 for ones that are legal under state law,
That being said, it's also required, as I mentioned before.
that both the casino and any employees that you have that are
accepting wagers on behalf of the casino are registered using
this Form 11-C,
The business, in this case the casino. is considered the principal,
while the employee accepting the wagers would be considered the agent,
With the occupational tax, in all likelihood, the casinos are going to be
covered by state law, since a compact is normally required
by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act for accepting sports wagers,
Now a common question we receive is, "Can the casino file one
11-C form to encompass both the casino and their employees?"
And the answer is no,
Each party, the casino, as the principal and each employee as
an agent, must file a separate Form 11-C,
We also tend to get questions about the employer
identification number that's required on Form 11-C,
Occasionally employees do not have an employer identification number.
they have a Social Security number, perhaps, but not an employer ID number,
The Form 11-C is a business return and requires
an employer identification number,
So if the employee does not have a currently valid EIN, employer identification number,
one must be obtained before filing the Form 11-C and this can be done online.
They you can do it at IRS.gov/EIN,
That employer identification number can be received within
minutes of completing that online tool,
And if those employees already have an employer identification
number, perhaps they had a business before and have already
been assigned an employer identification number for
themself individually, or if they for example worked at
another casino or other gaming outlet where they sold taxable
wages before and so therefore. they were issued an employer
identification number before that same number can be used,
Currently, they do not have to apply for a new ID number,
The Internal Revenue Code and Treasury regulations require the
payers of certain gambling winnings to report such winnings
to the winner and to the IRS,
Now, Form W2-G, Certain Gambling Winnings, is generally used to
report such gambling winnings,
Form W2-G instructions require the filing of the form if the winnings,
except for bingo, slot machines, Keno and certain poker tournaments,
reduced at the option of the payer by the wager,
are at least $600 or more and also at least 300 times the amount the wager,
Or, if the winnings are subject to federal
income tax or backup withholding,
a Form W2-G is also required to be filed,
We'll talk more about that on the next slide,
Certain gambling winnings paid to a non-resident alien are
reported on Form 1042-S not Form W2-G,
Form 1042-S is the Foreign Person's US Source Income
Subject to Withholding,
The Form 1042-S instructions provide that amounts subject to
reporting on Form 1042-S includes most gambling winnings
to the extent they are from US sources
and there is no dollar threshold,
There's no, for example, $600.00 threshold applicable,
And also, there's no application of the 300 times the amount of
the wager that would be applicable either,
The current withholding rate for gambling winnings paid to a
non-resident alien is 30% unless that non-resident alien provides
documentation that demonstrates that they are entitled to a
reduced rate or that they are exempt from
this foreign income tax withholding,
This withholding and reporting requirement do not apply
to amounts paid to a foreign person on the following:
wagers placed with the game of blackjack. baccarat, craps, roulette or big six wheel,
Wagers placed in one of any one of those five games,
the winnings from that do not have to be reported to a non-resident
alien or a foreign person on Form 1042-S, nor are they
subject to any kind of gambling withholding,
Under Internal Revenue Code Section 3402(q),
the regulargambling withholding rate is currently set at 24%,
Now you withhold at this 24% rate if the winnings that you pay
minus the amount wagered are more than $5.000 and are from
either a sweepstakes, a wagering pool, lottery, or any other
wagering transaction if the winnings are at least
300 times the amount wagered,
So the 300-times-the-amount-wagered is
only applicable to this "other wagering" transaction category,
It does not apply to sweepstakes, wagering pools, or lotteries,
Sports wagering falls under the "any other wagering transaction"
and must therefore have regular gambling withholding if the
winnings minus the amount of the wager is more than $5.000 and
the winnings are at least 300 times the amount that was wagered,
So, if somebody placed a $5 wager and the winnings were over
the $5.000 threshold, the 300-times-the-amount-of-the-wager
condition would be met and you've exceeded the
$5000 threshold for withholding, So regular gambling withholding
would be applicable,
Now, even if the winnings aren't subject to regular gambling withholding,
you may be required to withhold the same 24%,
not under gambling withholding rules, but under something
referred to as backup withholding,
And you're required to do backup withholding if:
• the winner doesn’t furnish you a valid or correct taxpayer identification number
• if regular gambling withholding isn’t already applicable, and
• if the winnings are at least $600 or more and
300 times the amount of the wager,
meaning that they would have been a reportable transaction,
If you have any withholding on Form W2-G
then you must use Form 945,
Annual Return of Withheld Federal Income Tax,
to report the withholding,
Form 945 is due January 31st of the following year
and deposits must be made on the withheld taxes,
I would direct you to the instructions to Form 945 for more detailed information
and to Publication 15 for these deposit requirements,
Now the Form 945 is similar to the Form 941,
which is used for the withholding on wages,
but it is its own separate form and does have its own separate
filing requirement and deposit requirements, so please keep that in mind,
If you have withholding on Form 1042-S,
then you would use the Form 1042 to report the withholding,
The Form 1042 is the Annual Withholding Tax Return for
US Sourced Income of Foreign Persons,
This Form 1042 is due March 15th of the following year
and deposits must be made on the withheld taxes
and once again I would direct you to the instructions to Form 1042
for those deposit requirements,
Now here's my last question for you,
Is there any withholding required on sports wagering?
And we've got Yes or No. Please put an answer
in text chat like you did with the last question,
Stan, we’re getting lots of responses,
I see and it looks like the majority of them, if not all of them are, yes,
And so the correct answer is indeed Yes,
Sports wagering may be subject to not only regular gambling withholding,
but it also might be subject to backup withholding
and/or withholding on payments made to a non-resident alien or to a foreign person,
Alright, so now I'm going to turn the presentation over to Carole
and she will continue for the remainder of our time,
Carole, please,
Stan?
Yes
before we let you go, there was one question and maybe
you could go into it and answer this real quick before Carole comes on?
And the question is, "If someone is hired in June,
do we still add them to the renewal?"
Yes, if they were brought onboard in June, then they would
have essentially one month,
Remember I had mentioned that the Form 11-C is prorated
throughout the course of the year, and the exact dollar amount.
the exact figure for that one month's worth of registration fee
is spelled out in the instructions,
I do not have, unfortunately. instructions in front of you.
but I could tell you that it's essentially 1/12 of the $50,
you know, which is roughly $4.33, So, that's what I would direct you to,
So, 4-plus dollars is what you would owe for the year, but yes.
you do have to include that individual,
Now if they stopped working in June, then when you re-up for July,
that individual would not need to make a payment for July, going forward,
I would also mention that the payment, if an individual starts
or is on the books in July and you make the payment for the
entire year, if they left your operation,
let's say a few months later,
you would not be able to get
a refund for that individual
for the balance of the year,
Unfortunately, it's paid at the beginning of the year and that's
partially because of the fact that that individual could,
for example, just go to another casino and continue accepting
wagers there and they'd be covered for the entire year,
But you would have to pay the full year.
That isn't prorated at that point.
It's only prorated if they start
after that July 1st date,
Stan, there is one other question in text chat,
if you could answer this before we go on to Carole,
The question is, “Is there 1042-S withholding for winnings
on 300 times wager on blackjack?”
The 1042-S, remember, is the the form for reporting
for non-resident aliens,
And, with regard to that form.
generally speaking, there's no
provision for either the $600 or
the 300 times the amount of the wager,
Now, however, as I mentioned.
there is an exception for certain games
and so if you said that
this was for blackjack.
that's one of the games that does not require
the casino to do any kind
of withholding or reporting,
If it were some other game,
like for example, if it was a true
sports wager that someone placed
there's no exception for that.
then it would be reportable regardless of the 300 times the
amount of the wager, because we're talking about the
Form 1042-S meaning that it is a payment to some foreign person.
a non-resident alien individual,
Thanks, Stan,
I'm just a quick reminder that if you have a question,
just put it in text chat and then after Carole’s finished,
then we’ll go over any additional questions as time allows. Thank you,
Since Stan went over all of the tax requirements, I would like
to talk about fantasy sports because that is becoming a
hotter topic and we have received several questions
regarding fantasy sports wagering,
Now, fantasy sports actually differs from the sports book
wagering in a couple ways,
First, you or your patron do not bet directly on the outcome of
any specific sporting event and either you or your patron create
a fantasy sports team and compete against opponents with
their fantasy sports team to win money,
The winning outcomes are determined predominantly by
accumulated statistical results of the performance of individuals or athletes
in multiple real team sporting or other events,
No winning outcome is based on a score, the point spread,
or any performance or the performance of any single real team,
or a combination of such teams, nor is there the outcome solely on
any single performance of an individual athlete in any single
real sporting or other event,
Now there are several different ways to bet on a fantasy sports team,
The two most common are when paying to enter a league,
the money is pooled and the top winner wins it all
or it could be split between the top winner
and those that placed in the top positions
or when wagering against a single opponent,
the winner receives the entire prize pool, usually less a commission
or a fee paid to the operator of the contest,
Now there are two different types of fantasy sports,
There's the traditional fantasy sports and then
there's daily fantasy sports,
Now, the traditional fantasy sports are games where
participants assemble simulated fantasy teams with rosters of
actual players from the real teams in a particular sports league,
The participants accumulate points based on the actual game
performances of their selected players,
Scoring is based on the selected players' performance statistics
or measures which are converted into fantasy points,
Each participant will then receive a total fantasy score
that is determined by compiling the individual fantasy scores of
each player in the participant's roster or lineup,
The participants compete against one another
based upon the total fantasy score,
Now, traditional fantasy sports have actually been around since
the 1960s and is typically played among a group of people
such as, you know, family members, friends, coworkers over
the course of a league's season, At the beginning of the season.
the Fantasy League holds a draft during which each participant
selects professional sports players one by one
to create their own Fantasy team,
Now each week, the Fantasy teams match up against each other.
accumulating fantasy wins and losses depending upon how well
each of the fantasy players did statistically in
their real sports games that week,
Now at the end of the season. the participant with the most
cumulative wins or points wins the fantasy season,
Now, the other type of fantasy sports is the daily fantasy sports.
That is normally a short term, usually weekly.
semi-weekly, or daily, contest,
Daily fantasy sports has been around since 2007 and are
normally offered exclusively online,
Daily fantasy sports contests typically occur daily, and the
participants tend to be a much larger group of strangers,
Rather than draft a team, each daily fantasy sport participant
is given an equal amount of fictitious money, known as a
salary cap, and the daily fantasy sports operator sets
each player's salary or price commensurate with the player’s
perceived value, not unlike how bookmakers set wagering odds in
traditional sports wagering, Participants may select the same
players for fantasy sports teams as other participants, so long
as their selections don't exceed the participant salary cap,
So now another important distinction between traditional
fantasy sports and daily fantasy sports is the entry fee,
The entry fee is generally given entirely to the winner or
winners of the traditional Fantasy Sport League,
In contrast, in daily fantasy sports, a portion of the fees
collected is not paid out to the winner, or the winners, but it's
retained by the daily fantasy sports operator,
Now this fee structure is why we normally don't see casinos
involved in traditional fantasy sports,
We only see them get involved with daily fantasy sports,
Now, traditional fantasy sports are not subject to the wagering
and occupational taxes. information reporting requirements,
or withholding requirements that Stan talked about,
However, the IRS has published informal guidance that was
issued back in August of 2020 indicating that an organization
involved in the operation of daily Fantasy sports is subject
to wagering and occupational taxes,
The information reporting requirements and the withholding requirements
discussed previously also apply to daily fantasy sports operators,
So if you have a casino that's getting involved in daily
fantasy sports, remember that they are subject to the wagering
and occupational taxes as well as information reporting
requirements and withholding requirements,
So now that I've said that and I've stressed that, here's my
poll question for you,
And it's basically, wagering and occupational taxes apply to:
A. Traditional fantasy sports, B. Daily fantasy sports,
C. Fantasy Island, D. All of the above, or
E. None of the above,
So, if you wouldn't mind putting your answer in the text chat,
we would appreciate and we can understand, then,
how well we have done at providing you information,
Carole, we have been getting several responses,
It looks like they did not take the bait of fantasy island,
but they have chosen B,
OK, thank you,
And the correct answer is B, Daily fantasy sports,
Remember, traditional fantasy sports are not subject to the
wagering occupational taxes. information reporting requirements,
or withholding requirements,
However, if your casino does get involved with the operation of
daily fantasy sports, it is subject to wagering and occupation taxes
as well as information reporting requirements and withholding requirements,
OK, now if you would like centralized information on
gaming for tribal casinos, Indian Tribal Governments has a
Publication 3908, Gaming Tax Law and Bank Secrecy Act Issues,
Additional information on wagering and occupational taxes
can also be found in the instructions included on the
Form 730 and 11-C,
The publication and the forms are available on IRS.gov and
additional information can be found by entering the terms
“sports wagering” or “wagering taxes” or “occupational taxes”
into the search box of the IRS.gov website,
The search box is located in the upper right-hand corner of the website.
And again, those three search terms were “sports wagering”
or “wagering taxes” or “occupational taxes” and you
will get specific information based upon those search terms,
Now, to help you stay current on tax changes that affect tribes
or the tribal entities, your tribal casino, we also provide
an Indian Tribal Government newsletter, which you can
subscribe to through our Gov Delivery service,
From the Indian Tribal Government's website homepage.
which you can access at IRS.gov/tribes,
on the right side, in the Stay Current box. you can click on the link for
sign up for the newsletter to automatically receive our newsletter,
and in the other news blast that we make regarding ITG issues,
Now, in summary, we actually have gone over quite a bit of information,
We learned how sports wagering is a lottery, sweepstakes, or
other betting based on directly or indirectly wagering on one or more competitions,
We learned that wagering and occupational taxes apply to
Indian tribal governments and the entities that they own,
in other words, your casinos,
How wagering taxes apply to sports wagers accepted by tribal casinos
and that they are filed and paid monthly on the Form 730,
We learned that wagering taxes are based on total wagers received
and is based on whether the wagers are authorized under state law,
How occupational taxes apply to each person who accepts
taxable wagers, and each casino who offers sports wagering,
They are filed annually by July 1st on the Form 11-C and the tax
is a flat fee based on whether the wagers are authorized under state law.
Winnings to U.S. citizens from sports wagers are reported on a
form W2-G if the single win is at least $600 and
at least 300 times the amount of the wager,
However, winnings to non-resident aliens from sports
wagers are reported on the Form 1042-S with no dollar threshold,
We also talked about regular gambling withholding applying to
sports wagering winnings if the proceeds exceed $5.000
and are at least 300 times the wager.
while backup withholding applies if the patron fails to provide
a taxpayer identification number or a TIN,
We talked about fantasy sports wagering and that's where the
bettor creates a fantasy team and competes against opponents,
There's no betting directly on the outcome of one specific competition,
There are two types of fantasy sports: The traditional fantasy sports,
which are normally season-long competitions, and
the daily fantasy sports which are your short-term competition.
The wagering and occupational tax information reporting
requirements and withholding requirements apply to daily
fantasy sports betting but not traditional fantasy sports betting,
And lastly, we provided resources available to you to
assist you with questions on sports wagering and tax requirements,
Now we do have about 10 minutes left,
Alison, were there any additional questions added to the chat?
No, Carole, I don't see any other questions,
Carol, may I add something. please?
Sure,
I just wanted to clarify something,
We had the question about an individual that came in in the
month of June for the Form 11-C and I'd mentioned I gave a
figure of $4.33 it's actually $4.16. I went to the form and it
does have the nice little chart in there,
It's $4.16, so small correction there. But each month has its
own cost component associated with it and it's based upon,
as I said, the portion of the year that's remaining,
OK
There is one other, I think this is a question if I could read it as Stan,
I think this is going to go to you,
“So at what point do we do a [Form] 1042-S,
if there is no limit or guidelines such as 300 times the bet or over $5.000?”
Technically, as I said, there's no beginning dollar threshold.
