$10,000 is at or above the $2,000 reporting threshold, so the payer files a W-2G with the IRS and gives you a copy.
The payer holds back 24% of winnings over $5,000 and sends it to the IRS. It's a prepayment, not the final tax.
Winnings are ordinary income stacked on your other $60,000. Your top dollar lands in the 22% bracket.

- Nonresidents
- Yes. Nonresidents owe Oklahoma tax on winnings from all wagering and games of chance in Oklahoma, reported on Form 511-NR.[5]
