Lottery winnings and taxes

May 11, 2009 by admin

Lottery winnings are generally treated as taxable income. For sizable winnings you will receive a 1099-MISC that shows your winning income and any taxes withheld.

This would not be earned income, so I do not believe it will serve as earned income which will force a reduction in your Social Security retirement benefits.
