How do I report my winnings on my taxes? |
| A: |
For customers who receive $600 or more in a calendar year, Fanball is required to file a form 1099 with the IRS by February 28th following the tax year. A copy of the 1099 also will be supplied to the prize winner to aid in tax preparation. The prize winnings are accumulated for all prizes awarded during the tax year and are totaled regardless of whether or not the prize money was placed on a Fanball account or issued as a check.
