With gambling winnings, game show prizes, and just about everything else, the IRS always gets its piece of the action. Even on 'Jeopardy!'
are also taxed. You must report game show winnings, and you will receive an IRS Form 1099--just in case you forget to put your win on your tax return. Winnings are generally just “other income” or miscellaneous income.
Many shows warn you about taxes and Forms 1099 in advance, just so contestants don’t go in with the wrong impression. And if you go on a show that awards prizes, even if you don’t win cash, the goods that you receive are taxable too. You’ll have to pay tax on their fair market value, including goods, services or trips. Yes, winning a car means taxes too. Remember Oprah Winfrey’s? Millions of Americans recently filed their tax returns and had to pay up.
Can a winner who doesn't need the money avoid taxes via gifts to charity, family, and friends? Only gifts to charity qualify for a tax deduction, and the deduction math favors the government. As for gifts to family and friends, you can’t generate an income tax deduction by those transfers. In fact, you could double up on taxes, even triggering gift tax too. But cheer up, a big Jeopardy! winner is still a big winner, and his expenses are probably small in any event.
