Instructions for Recipient of Gambling
Winnings
Purpose of form. You must complete Form 5754 if you
receive gambling winnings either for someone else or as
a member of a group of two or more people sharing the
winnings, such as by sharing the same winning ticket.
The information you provide on the form enables the
payer of the winnings to prepare Form W-2G, Certain
Gambling Winnings, for each winner to show the winnings
taxable to each.
Completing the form. If you are the person to whom
gambling winnings are paid, enter your name, address,
and taxpayer identification number in Part I. If the
winnings are from state-conducted lotteries, the box
labeled “Other I.D.” may be left blank. The total amount
received and the total federal income tax withheld must
be entered in the remaining columns.
Complete Part II to identify each winner and each
winner’s share of the winnings. If you are also one of the
winners, enter your information first in Part II by entering
“Same as above” in columns (a), (b), and (c) and the
applicable amounts in columns (d) and (e). Then complete
columns (a) through (e) for each of the other winners.
Return the form to the payer.
Taxpayer identification number. The taxpayer
identification number for an individual is the social
security number or individual taxpayer identification
number. For all others, it is the employer identification
number.
Signature. If federal income tax is withheld, the person
who receives the winnings must sign and date the form. If
no federal income tax is withheld, no signature is
required.

(e) Winnings from
identical wagers
