Tax Implications & Requirements
- Prizes are viewed by the IRS as taxable income, and should be reported as such. Prizes with a value of $600 or more must be reported to the IRS and the winner on a Form 1099-MISC. This filing puts the IRS “on notice” to look for that income to be reported on the winner’s Form 1040. (Click for more information.)
- For prizes valued at over $600, The Deli will request the winner’s Social Security or Tax ID number and issue them a Form 1099-MISC (by January 31 of the year after the prize is won.)
- If you receive a Form 1099-MISC, you are required to report the income listed on your annual tax return. Prizes valued at less than $600 should be reported as miscellaneous income as well (in the amount of their retail value at the time of the contest). Contactjanice@The Deli.com if there’s any question of retail value. This “prize income” should be included on Line 21 of your Form 1040.
