Do I owe tax on PrizePicks winnings under $600?

Where do I download my PrizePicks tax form?

Log into PrizePicks from a browser, open Account → Tax Information (or check your email for a Track1099 delivery link). The 1099-MISC PDF for the prior year is posted by January 31.

How is PrizePicks taxed compared to DraftKings or FanDuel?

PrizePicks is classified as a daily fantasy sports (DFS) operator, so winnings are reported on a 1099-MISC based on annual net profit. DraftKings and FanDuel issue W-2G forms for qualifying sportsbook wins in addition to 1099-MISC for their DFS products.

Can I deduct PrizePicks losses?

Casual players can deduct losses only if they itemize on Schedule A, and losses are capped at 90% of winnings under the 2026 One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Professional DFS players report on Schedule C and can deduct expenses against gross winnings.

The $600 1099-MISC threshold

PrizePicks — like DraftKings DFS and FanDuel DFS — is treated as a fantasy sports operator, not a sportsbook. That means no W-2G forms. Instead, PrizePicks issues a 1099-MISC when your net winnings (winning lineups minus their entry fees) hit $600 or more in a calendar year.

Scenario	Form issued?	Still taxable?
Net winnings under $600	No	Yes — self-report on Schedule 1
Net winnings $600+	1099-MISC (Box 3)	Yes
Promo credits / referral bonuses	Aggregated into the same 1099-MISC	Yes
