Best Answer

Gambling or lottery winnings are taxed like any other income.

How much you pay ultimately depends on your own tax situation and personal tax rate. That all depends on things like your other earnings (or losses), marital status, number of dependents, types of expenses and deductions, where you live, etc. The income is like any other "ordinary" income. The withholding (like from a payroll, as an estimate of the tax) required at the casino or lottery agent is normally a minimum of 20%, but can depend again on your situation too.

Casino winnings are considered ordinary income and will betaxed as such. That amount depends on your other income, your filing status, how many exemptions and how much deductions you may have, among other things.

Gambing winnings are like any other "ordinary income" (although provable losses are deductible against the winnings). You pay tax at your own personal effective rate, (different for everyone) after deductions, exemptions, other earnings, state taxes, etc.

It depends on where the casino is. Most of the casinos in the U.S. deduct a state tax on slot payouts above a certain amount, then also, you are supposed to claim winnings as income when you file your income tax each year. You can, however, deduct losses up to the amount of your winnings.

You can contact Refund Management Services to get your casino tax back. They will always help you to recover portion of your gaming tax back. I have used their refund services in past that's why I am recommending them.

Most casino winnings are taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. When added to the amount you have earned for the entire year, you can figure out what tax bracket you are in, then you will be able to figure out the rate in which you will be taxed.

As answered at least a zillion times here and part of the databank: How much you pay ultimately depends on your own tax situation and tax rate. There is no specific rate or category for income from types of gambling.

The withholding (like from a payroll, as an estimate of the tax) required at the casino is normally a minimum of 20%, but can depend again on your situation too.

It is NOT the amount you pay...just a payment in advance to assure the amount

you owe is paid.

Lottery and Gambling winnings are taxed like any other income.

That amount, or percent, of course changes with everyones personal situation, other income, expenses, deductions, exemptions, STATE (and state income tax is a deduction to Federal taxable income, so that changes many things), dependents, etc.

It is fair to say that 2 people, winning the same lottery would normally pay different amount of taxes.

Proveable losses are deductible against winning, so keep those losing lottery tickets!

Many people have tried to claim the winnings as Capital in nature, for the lower tax rate. The courts have denied that in each case.

If you are a professional gambler, the tax handling may change, as it is income from self employment...there are both good and bad aspects to this.

There is of course, no such thing as a luxury tax on an earnig...it being a surcharge on a luxury purchase of something only.
