Does FanDuel Report to the IRS? Your 2026 FanDuel Tax Form Guide
Quick answer: Yes, FanDuel reports to the IRS. You'll get a W-2G for qualifying Sportsbook or Casino wins and a 1099-MISC for DFS or promotional winnings totaling $600+ per year. Both post to your account by January 31 and go on Schedule 1, Line 8b of Form 1040.
Yes — FanDuel absolutely reports to the IRS
FanDuel Group (which also operates FanDuel Casino, TVG Racing, and FanDuel Faceoff) is a licensed sportsbook operator required to file information returns with the IRS whenever a customer's winnings cross federal reporting thresholds. When FanDuel issues you a W-2G or 1099-MISC, a copy is sent to the IRS at the same time. That's why unreported gambling income is one of the most common triggers for a CP2000 automated-underreporter notice.
FanDuel W-2G and 1099-MISC thresholds
| Product | Form | When it's issued |
|---|---|---|
| FanDuel Sportsbook | W-2G | Single win $600+ at 300-to-1 or greater |
| FanDuel Casino slots | W-2G | Single win $1,200+ |
| FanDuel Keno | W-2G | Net win $1,500+ |
| FanDuel Poker tournaments | W-2G | Net win $5,000+ |
| FanDuel DFS | 1099-MISC | Aggregate $600+/year |
| TVG Racing | W-2G | Net win $600+ at 300-to-1 |
Where to download your FanDuel tax documents
On a computer (recommended)
- Sign in at fanduel.com from a desktop browser (Chrome, Safari, or Edge).
- Click your profile icon, then choose Account → Statements & Tax Documents.
- Select the tax year. FanDuel lists each product separately — Sportsbook, Casino, DFS, Horse Racing/TVG — so repeat for each brand you used.
- Download the W-2G (for single wins of $600+ or $5,000+ depending on product) and any 1099-MISC files.
- Save the PDFs in a folder with your bank/card statements and your own session ledger for the same tax year.
On the FanDuel mobile app
The app hides full tax documents behind the browser-based Tax Center. For the cleanest PDFs, request the desktop version of fanduel.com from your phone browser or switch to a laptop. If you only see an account summary, the full tax forms are in the web view, not the app menu.
Multiple products? FanDuel does not merge W-2G or 1099-MISC totals across Sportsbook, Casino, DFS, or TVG. Add each form separately when reporting, and make sure the dates match your own session records.
If you also played on DraftKings this year, see our DraftKings tax form guide for the same download steps and form thresholds.
Reporting FanDuel winnings on Form 1040
- Report gross winnings on Schedule 1, Line 8b — not net profit.
- Deduct losses on Schedule A, itemized deductions. Losses cap at 90% of winnings (2026 rule).
- Some states (e.g. NJ, PA, NY) also require FanDuel winnings on the state return.
