Officials keep 100%

Pay ties to the games
Payments connect to the games officials worked, so your pay data and your assigning data stay in one place.
And the taxes
The 1099s are handled, too
The same payment data feeds year-end tax forms. For payments processed through GameSource, GameSource verifies officials’ TINs, prepares the 1099-NEC forms, files them with the IRS, and makes them available to officials.
