It was a percentage of prize/award money that my daughter received for the competition. The check was from the organization to me in the amount of $615.00. It is a donation from award money. It doesn't really fall under a gift because the check was made out to me from the organization. What are the guidelines to determine whether is was a gift or not? The organization is not providing me with a 1099-MISC, it seems they know something I don't. So, who pays taxes on that money then?
My daughter is not filing taxes for 2022. She was a dependent, full-time college student and was not employed.
- Thank You
