Fantasy sports winnings of $600 or more are reported to the IRS

If it turns out to be your lucky day and you take home a net profit of $600 or more for the year playing on websites such as DraftKings and FanDuel, the organizers have a legal obligation to send both you and the IRS a Form 1099-MISC. If you receive your winnings through PayPal, the reporting form may be a 1099-K. The 1099 tax forms report your winnings to the taxing authorities and also gives you information for completing your taxes. Even if you don't receive a 1099 form, you are still required to report all of your income on your federal and state income tax returns. Beginning with tax year 2022, if someone receives payment for goods and/or services through a third-party payment network, their payments are required to be reported on Form 1099-K if more than $600 was processed during the year. Those payments can include income as a result of business (self-employed, independent contractor, freelance, gig-work), real estate rental, hobby sales, personal item rental or sale. Organizers typically calculate players' net profits using a formula Fantasy sports organizers must figure out players' net profits in order to determine who gets 1099 forms. They use a formula to determine when a player hits the $600 level: Prizes won minus entry fees plus bonuses = net profit. Another way to calculate this is: (Withdrawals + Year End Account Balance) - (Deposits – Beginning Year Account Balance) = net profits. Reporting income or loss from fantasy sports on Form 1040 You are required to report all income earned from fantasy sports either as "other income" on Schedule 1 for Form 1040, or as business income on Schedule C. If you use the first approach, your fantasy sports is considered a hobby and you can't deduct any of your expenses or losses.

Draftking is the worse ever, they know how to still your money, as I was winning 3days in a row in the world cup, out of sudden I noticed that I was unable to login to my account, so I contacted them to let them know that I was unable to login to my account, so they lock the account with all my money in there, for 4 days I haven't heard from anyone, and finally on the 5th day they said they have returned my balance to me Wich I never received, plus the day before I was having issues login to my account, I tried to withdraw $400 but that 400 never came either, i realize it was their strategy All along, they booted the app, cause it to malfunction so you can give them access to your account, and that's how they got you, it's been 12 days now and no sign of my money and my account is still remain locked, I had screenshots of my winnings and my remaining balance so I sent it to them but they never answered to those emails, if anyone can help me retrieve my money from them, that would be very helpful. And please do not trust draftking
