Triple Tax: aka The Lottery
Renee Daggett • December 14, 2022
Now that the dust has settled on the big lottery winnings, it is worthwhile to see how the tax math works. Seen in the light of day, it is a great way for federal and state governments to triple tax this income and get even the lowest income households to pay it. So as media outlets shine a light on the lucky winner, consider what the tax looks like.
