Generally, casinos, other gambling establishments, or your state (if you participated in a state lottery) have until January 31st to mail out your W-2G. You may also be able to download your W-2G if the payer provides you with online access to this form.

If by mid to late February you have not yet received your W-2G, we recommend you check with the issuer.

The IRS also has an option to get a transcript of this documentation, but it may not be available during the standard filing period. More information can be found here.
