Fanatics Sportsbook Tax Form 2026: Does Fanatics Report to the IRS?
Quick answer: Yes, Fanatics Betting & Gaming reports to the IRS. Expect a W-2G for qualifying Sportsbook and Casino wins and a 1099-MISC for aggregate promo or bonus income of $600+ per year. Both post to your Tax Center by January 31 and go on Schedule 1, Line 8b of Form 1040.
Yes — Fanatics reports to the IRS
Fanatics Betting & Gaming, LLC operates a fully licensed U.S. sportsbook and online casino across states like NJ, MI, PA, OH, TN, and MD. As a regulated operator, Fanatics is required to file W-2G and 1099-MISC information returns whenever your winnings cross federal reporting thresholds. Copies of every form are transmitted to the IRS at the same time you receive yours — unreported gambling income is a common trigger for a CP2000 automated-underreporter notice.
