This bill would change when casinos and other businesses must report slot machine winnings to the IRS. Right now, smaller winnings can trigger tax reporting, but this bill would raise the reporting threshold so that only winnings of at least $5,000 from one slot machine play would have to be reported. It also says that amount would go up over time with inflation after 2026. The change would apply to payments made after December 31, 2025.

  • Winnings from a single slot machine play would not need IRS reporting unless they are at least $5,000.
  • The $5,000 amount would be adjusted for inflation for calendar years after 2026.
  • Any inflation increase would be rounded to the nearest $100.
  • The new rules would start applying to payments after December 31, 2025.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Shifting Limits on Thresholds Act of

SEC. 2. REPORTING THRESHOLD FOR SLOT MACHINES.

    (a) In General.--Section 6041 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(h) Slot Machines.--
            ``(1) In general.--No return shall be required under 
        subsection (a) in the case of a payment in the course of a 
        trade or business of winnings from one slot machine play unless 
        the winnings from one such play are at least $5,000 (without 
        reduction for the amount wagered).
            ``(2) Inflation adjustment.--In the case of payments in any 
        calendar year beginning after 2026, the $5,000 amount in 
        paragraph (1) shall be increased by an amount equal to--
                    ``(A) such dollar amount, multiplied by
                    ``(B) the cost-of-living adjustment determined 
                under section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year in which 
                the taxable year begins, determined by substituting 
                `2025' for `2016' in subparagraph (A)(ii) thereof.
        If any increase determined under the preceding sentence is not 
        a multiple of $100, such increase shall be rounded to the 
        nearest multiple of $100.''.
    (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by this section shall apply 
to payments after December 31, 2025.
