Enlarge image | 7. How do I report gambling winnings? Gambling winnings reported on a W-2G, 1099, or other informational return from Mississippi casinos are subject to a three percent (3%) non-refundable income tax. The casinos withhold the tax at the time of payout. For Non- Mississippi gambling see Form 80-108, Schedule N. The amount withheld is non-refundable to the taxpayer. Miss. Code Ann. Section 27-7-901 provides that the amount of winnings reported on W-2G, 1099 or other informational return from Mississippi casinos are not included in Mississippi income and no income tax credit is allowed for the amount of withholding. A non-resident taxpayer with only Mississippi gambling winnings and/or losses should not file a Mississippi tax return. The document provided by the casino is considered the income tax return for this type of Mississippi income and therefore is proof that the tax was paid to Mississippi. 8. Where do I mail my return? If you are receiving a refund: All other income returns: P.O. Box 23058 P.O. Box 23050 Jackson, MS 39225-3058 Jackson, MS 39225-3050 9.

Users are able to make estimated payments on-line without a DOR account or a TAP login. • Check or Money Order Payments (Payments Not Submitted with the Return): To pay by check or money order, complete the payment voucher (Form 80- 106), make the check or money order payable to the Department of Revenue and mail both to P.O.
