Partial hits only but yesterday I received 24 w2-gs in the mail for under 15.00 most under 5. My cpa is going to think im nuts!

Don't worry about it, just add up the total, and zero it out assuming you didn't make money this year...and if you made some money declare the total as winnings. You don't report each one individually.

I'll assume you're 100% sure about this, but if someone were to do their taxes via something like Turbo Tax, they would pretty much have to enter each one.

Me personally, I would enter each one because when the IRS sees what is reported to them (W2's, 1099's, W2G, etc), I would want it to all line up and correlate to minimize the risk of them looking into it further.

Not to worry. They'll all be busy deciding what to do with their bonuses.

Same here, got 9 in the mail today. I'm done with that also, my accountant (my wife) will probably get a little excited/worked up at first.

I got involved one time, as far as I remember the ticket(s) ending up losing money. I think the pool was capped at $50k and the return was in the $30k
