TAX INFORMATION FOR POLL WORKERS


The Department receives many inquiries about whether or not people are supposed to report the income they receive as Election Officers on their tax return.

The answer to the question is YES!

The State of Delaware will issue W2s to Election Officers who are paid more than $599.99 in any calendar year. There are some circumstances where an Election Officer is paid less than $600 for their work as an Election Officer, but receives a W2 because payment for some other service to the State kicks their earnings above $599.99.

Election Officers who do not receive a W2 are responsible for reporting the money paid to them for their work as an Election Officer on their tax return.
