1099-misc

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MA
Hello. My husband received a 1099-MISC for for a prize he won which was valued at $3,000 and reported in box 3 of the 1099. The prize was for a cruise and we had to pay the taxes up front before we went on the cruise. This is not reflected under box 3 (federal income tax withheld). How/where do I report that these taxes were already paid? Thanks for your help!What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

What did the issuer of the 1099 say when you asked them about the missing withholdings?

The issuer of the 1099 was the radio station which distributed the prize to my husband, but we paid the taxes directly to the cruise line before we could go on the trip. Is there any place we can record on our tax form that these taxes were paid? Thanks so much for your help!

Is it possible you paid the cruise line sales tax and not income tax?

Any taxes paid to the cruise line were not federal or state income taxes. Therefore they were not "withholding".
