WHAT YOU NEED
We take the hassle and worry out of going after your gambling tax refund! In most cases, you’ll have a cheque in hand in 15 weeks – or less!
Remember to keep all of your travel receipts (hotel, travel, flights, meals) and game play comp cards recording your winnings and losses. This win-loss statement may be needed if your claim is questioned.
Here is the process:
- Send us your Form 1042-S (the win slip you received at the casino) for processing. If you have misplaced your 1042-S slip, supply us with complete details and we will obtain a valid duplicate.
- We send you an Engagement letter (completely detailing our services) along with any other forms necessary to obtain your refund.
- We apply for your U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. Let us know if you already have an IRS-ITIN.
- We prepare and file your U.S. Personal Income Tax Return (declaring your winnings). Generally, from the date of filing it takes about six weeks until you receive your refund in U.S. dollars.
- We cannot obtain a refund on tax already paid for winnings in the current year – as in Canada, tax refunds are paid in the year following the taxation year. However, we CAN get the process started now to get your money back as quickly, and conveniently, as possible!
