I was at the local poker room last week, and they were running a high hand promotion that paid $1,300 to the winner. I asked the dealer if the winner would get a W2, but he said that any win over $600 got a 1099, not a W2. I didn't pursue it any further with him, and needless to say, I did not win the prize, but it got me wondering.
First, (and it may just be FL law) why is the threshold $600 and not $1,200? And more importantly, for income tax considerations, how would winnings reported on a 1099-MISC differ from those reported on a W2-G?

Thanks for this post from:
The limit of $600 is standard for a 1099. A 1099 is for miscellaneous income not gambling income. The high hand is probably considered a promotion because it is not directly correlated to a fixed bet amount.
A 1099 may be more difficult to write your losses off against if you are not a professional player.

Thanks for the info, DRich!
So, if I am not a professional, and I will be taking the standard deduction when I file, it sounds like there would be the same tax liability for 1099's vs. W2's?
I have received neither this year, so this wouldn't affect my taxes, but it might influence which promotions I try to go after in the future.

My understanding is that if you are not itemizing deductions, they will be the same.

That sucks, but it is not wrong on their part. They must file one if it is over $600, but if it is under it is up to them.

I know, I just wasnt expecting it and I already filed when I got it. I have not done an amendment and will see if the IRS sends me one if those nice letters like I got a few years ago when a similar thing happened.
