What Documentation Do Game Show Winners Need?
If you have won a game show in the United States, you will be given an IRS form 1042-S. If you have lost or misplaced this form, the production studio can provide you with a copy of it. In addition, game show winners should keep supporting documentation of their U.S. gambling losses. Old lottery tickets, race stubs, records of slot machine plays, are all considered to be supporting evidence of gambling losses in the same taxation year while gambling in the US.
