Consolidate W-2G’s?

We had a lucky streak with multiple W-2G’s from the same casino. Can we total and consolidate the entries, or should we enter each W-2G separately?

Thank you very much for your help!

    You should enter each W-2G separately, so that the IRS computers can match the individual W-2G's with the information it receives from the casino.

    In FreeTaxUSA, you will enter it in: Income > Uncommon Income > Gambling Income (W-2G)

    How many W2Gs am I allowed to enter? I have 42. Can I consolidate into 1 entry since all from same casino? Thankyou

    Hello LouLu1,

    The more conservative approach would be to report each one separately to prevent any possible confusion with the IRS. I do know that our software does allow over 80+ W-2Gs.
