What forms do prediction market traders file?
There is no IRS guidance for prediction markets, but all income must be reported. Realize explains the options so you can choose for yourself or with one of our licensed CPAs. People filing as capital gains list each closed position on Form 8949, Box C or Box F, because no venue reports these on a Form 1099-B. People filing as gambling report gross winnings on Schedule 1 and itemized losses on Schedule A. People filing as ordinary income treat the contracts as swaps outside Section 1256, so a net loss can offset other income in full. People filing under Section 1256 use Form 6781, which splits a net gain 60% long-term and 40% short-term.
