Having difficult time of obtaing fed id # from w-2g form from gambling winnings, how do i retrieve that #?

Question

who or what do i need to do to obtain fed id # from form w-2g... gambling winning tax form?

Answer 1

Just leave it out is what I have done sometimes. You could also try calling the place that gave you the form.

The easiest is to leave that space blank. If that is a problem the IRS will write you and ask for it. That is unlikely.
