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.
Fantasy sports organizers have to 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.
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.
If you can establish that you play fantasy sports as a business, you can report your net profit as business income on Schedule C. The great advantage to this is that you can typically report your losses as well. If you have a net loss for the year, you can use that loss to reduce other taxable income from jobs you hold or other businesses you run.
