How do I report my winnings?

Question

Answer 4

If you're in the U.S., gambling winnings go on Line 21 of Form 1040, which is labeled "Other Income".  

If you are reporting the income, you should also look into whether you might need to make estimated tax payments.  In order to avoid having the IRS charge you an interest penalty, you have to pay in 90% of the current year tax liability (or 100% to 110%, depending on your income level, of the previous year's tax liability, if that is smaller).
