How do I get my DraftKings win/loss statement and W-2G forms?

By the W2gMatch team · Sources checked 09-11-2026 · General information, not tax advice.

Sign in to DraftKings and open your account's tax documents section to download the year's forms and win/loss statement. DraftKings' help page is the authority for the exact menu names. The statement covers every wager on the account; W-2Gs for reportable wins come separately, and the IRS already holds a copy of each.

What DraftKings issues, and when

A sportsbook issues a Form W-2G for a single wager that pays at least the reporting threshold ($2,000 for 2026) and at least 300 times the stake, with federal withholding on larger payouts. Most sports bets never qualify, so most winnings arrive with no form and are still taxable. Daily fantasy and promotional prizes come on a 1099-MISC instead.

Separately, DraftKings provides an annual win/loss or activity statement of every wager on the account: amount wagered, amount returned and the net, usually with a note that it is not a tax document. [1] Tax forms are issued by January 31; annual statements usually follow in early February.

How to get the statement

Sign in to DraftKings and open your account's tax documents section to download the year's forms and win/loss statement.

  1. Sign in to your DraftKings account on the web.
  2. Open your account menu and look for Tax Documents, Financial Center or Statements.
  3. Choose the tax year and download the win/loss statement and any W-2G or 1099.
  4. Save it for your preparer.

The account pages are usually reachable only from a state where DraftKings operates; a VPN or an out-of-state login can fail.

These steps are the common route through DraftKings' account pages and have not been checked against its help page on a set date; the help page is the authority. [1]

What the statement shows, and what it does not

The statement is a summary of every wager on the account, so it is complete for the account, but it is one operator's view. Play elsewhere, and any play on a second account, is not on it. It usually carries a note that it is an estimate and not a tax document. The IRS asks for a contemporaneous diary supported by records such as statements and tickets; the statement supports the diary rather than replacing it. [2] [3]

Read it with the W-2Gs. A W-2G reports one reportable win and the IRS already holds a copy; the statement reports the net of the year's play. The two measure different things and are expected to disagree, and a return has to show how they fit. The reconciliation page walks through it.

When is the DraftKings statement for last year available?

Tax forms are issued by January 31; annual statements usually follow in early February.

Does the DraftKings statement include every bet?

Yes, for that account. Every wager is placed on the account, so the annual statement covers all play there. It does not include play on another operator or a second account, and it is not the W-2G: a W-2G reports one reportable win, and the IRS receives a copy of each.

Is the DraftKings win/loss statement enough for my return?

Not on its own. The IRS asks for a contemporaneous diary of winnings and losses supported by records, and the statement is one of those records. Statements from every operator you used, the W-2Gs and 1099s, and your own log together let a preparer show winnings, show losses, and explain every difference between the documents and the forms the IRS matched.

How do I calculate my taxable DraftKings winnings from a win/loss statement?

Your taxable DraftKings winnings are the total amount of money you won, reported in full as income on your federal tax return, as recreational gamblers cannot net losses against winnings directly on the return (IRS Publication 529).

How do the 2026 tax law changes affect DraftKings gambling loss deductions?

From tax year 2026, recreational gamblers may deduct 90% of their gambling losses, but this deduction cannot exceed their total gambling winnings, reported as an itemized deduction on Schedule A (IRS Publication 529).
