In the United States, lottery winnings are subject to federal income tax. The federal tax rate on lottery winnings depends on the amount won and the winner\“s overall tax situation. For substantial prizes, the IRS typically withholds 24% upfront, but the actual tax liability may be higher when filing annual tax returns.
Winners should consult with tax professionals to understand their specific tax obligations and explore strategies for managing their windfall, such as taking annuity payments to spread out the tax burden over several years. |
