If you claimed an Iowa Lottery prize of more than $600 in calendar year 2022, check your mailbox in the coming days for a form from us that you’ll need as you file your income taxes.
The document that most winners will receive is the W-2G form. It lists the total prize amount involved along with any federal and state withholdings applied to your prize. (Lottery winners who aren’t U.S. citizens receive a document called Form 1042S.)
If you claimed multiple Iowa Lottery prizes of more than $600 in 2022, you’ll receive multiple forms from us, one for each prize claimed.
The deadline for all W-2G forms to be mailed out is next Tuesday (Jan. 31). That process is underway now! Depending on the mail delivery time, you should receive your form within the next 10 days or so.
If you think you should receive a tax form from us for winnings in calendar year 2022 and you've moved since you claimed your prize, please let us know your new address as soon as possible. Unless we receive an update, our records will show the address provided when you claimed your prize. Your tax form would be sent there.
You can call the Iowa Lottery at 515-725-7900 or email us at [email protected]. Be sure to include your name, old address, new address, and telephone number in case we need to contact you.
Thank you again for playing the lottery. And congratulations to all our winners!
