I wonder what the taxes will be?

finance the taxes on a 30 day loan, sell car, payoff tax loan, pocket rest.

I wonder what the taxes will be?

That was my thought. According to this site, it could be as much as 1/3. That would equal $52,000. My guess is that most contestants couldn't pony up that kind of cash.

Back in 2001 I won my 2000 R on a raffle ticket.

It costs me $21,500 in tax, $17,000 federal and $3,500 state.

It's as if someone handed me a check for $60,000.

Fortunately I had the money to pay it, and still have the car to this day.

Wtf..so sketchy

 

[o2gt]

Wtf..so sketchy

the supreme court says it is, so I guess we have to go with it. look up section 62 of the federal tax code and glenshaw glass. It will be eye opening.

 

[DAVESVT2000]

Wtf..so sketchy

Anytime you win something, it's considered earned income.

I don't mind, I got a $60k car for $21k
