1099 Form
In order to pay the IRS you’ll need a 1099 form attached to your annual taxes. You’ll put in the value of your winnings (if it is a dollar amount it’s fairly easy but if it’s a gift you’ll need to find out the fair market value-FMV of the item). You will then send this form in with your taxes. All of the instructions are in the tax booklet.
Be Aware
It’s important to be aware that your winnings, depending upon what they are, may place you in a higher tax bracket. Make sure to get a Fair Market Value or FMV on your gift item and keep a copy of how you got said value (online, in person, through a pawn shop etc.).
Remember
Keep a copy of all of your winnings each year. Itemize your tax return if you have more than one winning item. Consider having a professional prepare your taxes if they seem overwhelming. Have a professional double check your return to ensure that everything is completed accurately on your forms. Always pay any taxes that are due.
