I don't see how the IRS can bother him when he never signed for any jackpot
or even inside
the casino when the jackpot was it. This is clearly a negligent casino which
just used the information from the slot card and not putting the jackpot in
the name of the person who submitted the ID.
You don't know the IRS. The IRS relies on the information they are given.
If the casino made a mistake, they have to correct the information they sent
the IRS. The IRS has no way of knowing if your friend was in the casino at
the time or should have received the W-2G. He should try to get in touch with
the casino and ask for a copy of the W-2G. He can try to argue with them
but I think he has a problem.
