However, just because the casino reports it in that fashion doesn't mean you have to. You can make a substance over form argument that your economic benefit from winning is the net cash you receive.


I agree with you there, but not sure how you would claim the "loss". If the full amount is not reported, a notice from the IRS is sure to follow. Would the loss be claimed on Sch D?

No, the income would be reported as other income on line 21 as "prize money see stmt." I would attach a statement that reported the prize amount per the 1099-Misc and a line item "expenses paid to collect the prize" with the net amount equaling what I reported on line 21.
