well that was a complete waste of time except for maybe somebody who is filing for the first time in his life

to make this a useful thread, can someone who got a surprise audit about his gambling income tell his story

I ran across this long video seminar at the IRS website describing:
Form 1099-DA - Digital Assets: Existing and New Reporting Requirements (seems bitcoin-centric)


From a CPA:
IRS Issues NEW 1099-K Rules You Need to Know!


There's reporting requirements that used to be not worried about that are being lowered to $5K/yr this past year, $2.5K/yr this year, and $600/year in 2026. This is for the gig economy or e-bay auction economy or service economy.

From another CPA:
Do You Need to Issue a 1099? 1099-NEC & 1099-MISC Explained


I still don't know if people get 1099 forms for cashing in rewards points valued at over $600 on their casino card during the year or if free hotel rooms get a tax treatment besides the resort fee and parking fee. If you cash in your points for free play at half price, I don't think you'd get a tax form; so why would getting fifty $15 cheeseburgers on points draw a tax form? idk I was under the impression points earned on a slot machine or table game weren't taxable because they are rebates.

Rebates on automobiles and water heaters are taxable, so I think a slot rebate would be, if that's how they are classified.
