Prize taxes and reporting
Prize-tax guidance starts with two separate questions: whether winnings are taxable income and whether the payer must issue an information return. Read the threshold explainer, valuation articles, and calculator assumptions together. Keep records and use IRS sources; a missing tax form does not by itself make a prize tax-free.
