Michael- Everyone can definitely make their own decisions when it comes to entering/ not entering a contest. For a prize valued at $375 are you really that worried about the tax consequences?
1099’s must be sent if over $600.00. If less, they can be sent.
My experience is when ARV’s are stated, especially, at a high level, the 1099’s are coming. All are free to make their own decisions. My thinking is it is not worth it to give up my personal information when this may well turn out to be an after tax loser. Some wins are not wins. Just saying.
DaninMCI- Good Luck!
Michael- That’s totally your call.
Rich- I like your thinking! I’m not fully sure of the $ value of a prize which triggers a 1099, based on a quick search it appears to be $600.
FYI The official rules state the Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) is $375.00 each. This sounds like a 1099 and tax consequences to me. I am not entering.
Do believe a 1099 is needed for $500+.
“I am not entering.”
Michael,
Thanks, it will improve the odds of my winning!
I’ll likely win this and then come to find out that it’s only good for USA hotels Cat 1-4 and only good for 6 months or less.
Seriously. Thanks for the post 🙂
