Does Western Union or Money Gram require you fill out a tax form on withdraw?

Looking to withdraw from my online Sportsbook using either Western Union or Money Gram. Do either of these companies require you fill out some tax form when you go get your payment? I thought I may have read something about this online. Thanks.

no you dont have to fill out a "tax" form

Your money is coming from a friend/relative/etc and they have no reason to tax anything on it.. if they knew it were gambling winnings you would not even get paid. lol

If you keep it under 1k they will never ask for anything peroid, no ID, no paperwork

Thanks for the response. Are they even allowed to ask what it's for? I'm smart enough to tell them it's a financial gift from a friend.

It's none of their business to know what it's for. My name was banned from WU for too many transactions because they thought it was shady I kept receiving money from Central America.....so your name may get barred for awhile. It goes away after six months.
