Yes. If you have a w-2g form, then so does the IRS. It is considered taxable income. Failure to put it on your return could get you into trouble.

Google +taxes and +"gambling winnings" for more information.

Does a casino hold out any taxes from your winnings or do you fill out a form?

It depends on how large your winnings are. In most cases you are issued a W-2G form showing the amount of your winnings, this is reported to the IRS and you must list it as other income on your taxes. In the case of some very large jackpots ( in the +$500,000 range) a portion of your winnings can be withheld on the spot by an IRS representative.

What are the withholding requirements for winnings from casino gambling?

The casinos do not withhold taxes from winnings. They issue the player a Form 1099G, which shows the players jackpot amount, a copy is filed with the IRS and the player is responsible for reporting the winnings when the file their taxes. Casino gambling winnings are considered income by the IRS. The only time taxes are withheld from winnings at the time jackpots are paid is from the multi-million dollar jackpots. A representative from the IRS is present at the time payment to the player is made. It can take hours for one of those to be paid, as they are not paid by the casino but rather the company that makes the slot machine, such as IGT or Bally's.Different states have different laws on this also. For example, Indiana withholds 3.4% state tax from all jackpots of $1200 and up. You can request federal tax be taken out at the time you are paid also, but beware: federal tax is 25% of the jackpot, so unless you hit a really nice jackpot ($20,000+) you probably don't want to take Federal out.
