TIGTA says IRS is missing out on sports betting cash

The surge in sports betting has generated substantial revenue for gaming operators, yet the IRS is reportedly overlooking significant tax income, according to a recent TIGTA review. The analysis of approximately 43m tax forms from 2018 to 2020 revealed around 150,000 individuals who won over $15,000 failed to file tax returns on those earnings. The IRS estimates that by addressing these issues, it could potentially recover an additional $1.4bn in tax revenue.
