There have been a ton of stories about state lotteries in the press recently, as well as much about tax season. A story broke last week that touches on both subjects. A man, accused of hiding thousands in lottery winnings from the Internal Revenue Service, was indicted in tax court. Tax evasion is a significant matter, and is not worth it. I have heard that a Lottery winner tax evasion thwarted by IRS. The IRS does not forgive, rest or leave a stone unturned.
