Are elderly taxed less for nc lottery winnings?
Age will make no difference at all when it comes to the taxable status of lottery winnings. People sometimes think there is an age limit where they no longer have to file taxes, but there is no such limitation. Taxes are based strictly on income. You are allowed a slight increase in exemption when you are over 65 years of age, but that is the only age effect on income taxes.

Gambling proceeds are not considered earned income if you do not report the income a self-employment income. Professional gamblers report gambling as self-employment income in order to deduct travel and other expenses as well as to establish retirement accounts and show the income as a part of an ongoing source of income in order to qualify for bank loans. Recreational gambling income, including lottery winnings, are not considered earned income.The distinction between earned income and ordinary income is for such issues as earned income tax credit and qualifying for social security benefits.Almost any source of money, including gambling winnings, is going to be income. The money would be called unearned income in this case. Consult the SSIC office for the publications that can give you all the details.

How much will you be taxed on 8000 lottery winning?
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.

The submittal above trying to say any type or amount of gambling winnings is not taxed, or taxed differently than any other earning, is entirely incorrect, and should be ignored. A brief on tax rules is below as is a link to more information. Gambling winnings are fully taxable and must be reported on your tax return. You must file Form 1040 (PDF) and include all of your winnings. Gambling income includes, but is not limited to, winnings from lotteries, raffles, horse races, and casinos. It includes cash winnings and also the fair market value of prizes such as cars and trips. For additional information, refer to Publication 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income. A payer is required to issue you a Form W-2G (PDF) if you receive certain gambling winnings or if you have any gambling winnings subject to Federal income tax withholding. All gambling winnings must be reported irrespective as to whether any portion thereof is subject to withholding. in addition, you may be required to pay an estimated tax on your gambling winnings. For information on withholding on gambling winnings, refer to Publication 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax. You may deduct gambling losses only if you itemize deductions. Claim your gambling losses as a miscellaneous deduction on Form 1040, Schedule A (PDF). However, the amount of losses you deduct may not be more than the amount of gambling income you have reported on your return. It is important to keep an accurate diary or similar record of your gambling winnings and losses.
