Legal Answers
Q. What can I do to obtain W2-G's for my deceased mother so I can file her taxes?
A: If you opened probate and had "Letters Testamentary" the casino would likely honor that, but that is a hassle if there's no need to open probate. You may be able to obtain a "Wage and Income Transcript" from the IRS, which shows reported W2s, but it will take some time for the W2s to be processed and show up on the transcript.

You would need a Form 56 and Form 4506-T. The IRS has a page here about obtaining information for deceased taxpayers (https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/deceased-taxpayers-getting-information-from-the-irs).
