Hello Vanessa,
The $615.00 was a percentage off of the prize money that my daughter won, but a donation to me in the form of a check given by the company that was running the contest. The check was not from my daughter, but from the company running the contest. Why did they have me fill out a W-9 then in order to receive the donation money if I don't have to pay tax on it? I thought I have to pay taxes on gift or donations over a certain amount, like $600.00.
My daughter is not filing income taxes for 2022 (she was a dependent, full-time college student, and not employed).
Thanks Again.
