SECTION 1. 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 2023, 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 
                `2022' 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, 2022.
                                 <all>
