Tim.

The *association* (or paying organization) needs to issue a 1099 only if the paymetns are $600 or more. They can issue one for less.

The *umpire* must (well, is supposed to) declare the income whether or not they receive the 1099.

Tim:

Rich is correct. A 1099 is only generated when one (1) entity pays another entity $600 or more in a given tax year. He is also correct that in the immortal words of Yogi Berra, late of AFLAC commercials, that a gift certificate is the same as "cash which is just as good as money."

Tim,

As Bob said, the assignor or whoever is paying issues the 1099. I filed before receiving a 1099 last year, but it was no big deal because all the income was included on my return, 1099 or no 1099. ALL income is taxable.

Thanks, guys. I work enough in several leagues and through my association that I'm always over the $600 and have to fill out a 1099 anyway. But there are a lot of guys I know who think they're clear from reporting this income if it doesn't exceed $600 from any given league. I'll have to "coach" them up a bit.

$600 from a single customer is the threshold for reporting on a 1099. $1 is the threshold for reporting on a 1040. All income is reportable; the taxable portion is unique to each taxpayer.

I thought it was anything over $300 that the recipient had to report, and $600 the minimum for the assignor/association/etc.
