Tax Obligations and IRS Compliance

  1. Prize Value & Taxation
    The grand prize is an off-road vehicle with an estimated Fair Market Value (FMV) of $27,000. Under IRS rules, prizes valued at more than $2,000 are taxable income to the winner.
  2. Ticket Purchases Are Not Tax-Deductible
    Raffle ticket purchases are considered wagers under federal law and are not tax-deductible charitable contributions.
  3. Grand Prize Federal Tax Withholding
    Because the grand prize value exceeds $5,000, federal income tax withholding is required. Southern Arizona Home Builders Association (SAHBA) has elected to pay the required federal withholding tax on behalf of the winner.

The withholding amount is $8,526.60, calculated using the IRS gross-up rate of 31.58%. Because this payment is considered additional taxable income, the total amount reported to the IRS on the winner’s Form W-2G will be $35,526.60.

  1. Winner Responsibilities
    The winner is responsible for all other applicable taxes and fees, including:
  • Federal income taxes (except for Grand Prize)
  • Arizona state income taxes
  • Any applicable local taxes
  • Vehicle title, registration, transfer, and licensing fees
  1. Required Documentation
    Before receiving a prize valued over $2,000, the winner must:
  • Provide a valid Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)
  • Complete and sign IRS Form W-9
  • Complete an affidavit of eligibility

SAHBA will provide the winner with IRS Form W-2G as required by law.
