Recently I was asked to review a return for a new client. He is a professional gambler and he wanted to make sure his previous tax preparer entered the information correctly. This gave me a perfect opportunity to present a case study to compare the differences between reporting as a person who gambles a few times a year with a person whose main activity during the year is gambling as a professional.Non-Professional Vs Professional Gambler
A non-professional gambler receives a W2G from the casino and the reported winnings will flow to Line 21 - Other Income on the Schedule 1 of the 1040. The amount of losses can be taken on the Schedule A Line 16. This deduction is limited to the amount of winnings. Also, the non-professional is not allowed to deduct travel, auto or other expenses related to the gambling activity.
The professional gambler also receives W2G forms, and in many cases, large numbers of W2Gs. When these are entered on the 1040, they are attached to the Schedule C for self employment. With the Schedule C, the taxpayer would be able to deduct resonable travel expenses, auto expenses and of course, the gambling losses - with the same deduction limitation. He would also be able to deduct his Self-Employment Heath Insurance and other deductions related to his business. Another benefit from the Schedule C is that the QBI could potentially give the taxpayer an additional 20% decution.
But there is a catch. The total amount of expense deduction on the Schedule C cannot exceed the total amount of winnings and must show that the majority of the income came from gambling.Gambling Winnings 1040 Line 21 1040Outcome of the ReviewGambling Winnings 1040 Line 21 Instructions
When I reviewed his return, I did find a few errors his previous tax preparer made. The taxpayer had almost 200 W2Gs. The tax preparer had mistakenly marked five of the W2Gs to flow to Line 21 - not the Schedule C. This caused the taxpayer to pay a substantial tax payment in error. I amended the return and my new client recently received his refund check from the IRS.
