Customer Service
You have zero customer service. Zero. No phone number. Nobody to contact. Nobody in charge. This shortcoming cost me $20,000 in state taxes because I had NO ******* IDEA you had changed to reporting gross winnings to IRS. Every other DFS site report a 1099 only if over $600 in net profits. Yahoo just decided one day to change their policy and no warning to me at any point. Ignorant.

Hi Brad,
Yahoo is required by the IRS to issue a Form 1099-MISC if your gross winnings from Yahoo Fantasy contests total $600 or more in a calendar year. Note - recently passed legislation will increase the reporting threshold from $600 to $2,000 starting in 2026.
The Form 1099-MISC is based on Gross Winnings across the Yahoo Fantasy games, and will not factor in entry fees.
Should you need Customer Support in the future, you can contact us through the sports tab at help.yahoo.com.
Thanks,
