If I win the lotto my only objectives is how to hide my money, how to not pay taxes.
Are you single lol congratulations
Congratulations
Congratulations, and on behalf of the IRS, welcome to the 37% tax bracket. If you haven’t been here before, please take a moment to realize you will get the patriotic joy of paying what politicians call “your fair share”. While we will go ahead and take 24% right off the top ($189,600) of your winnings, you will probably need to send us another $50K or so at tax time. We at the IRS love our lottery winners.
Bridget let me hold a couple dollars til i can see further.
Bridgette, do you remember me my old friend?
