Need help - ASAP

When you have a signer, how much do they take out? Say I win $2K, how much should I put aside or would they take?

Thanks,

Depends on the state your in in regards to state taxes but federal wise, unless its over 5k per $2 (also 5k per $1 per or 5k per 50cent), they will not take anything unless you ask them to.

And if it is over 5k, they take 25%

I believe this varies slightly by each state as well

So let's say I use someone elses account and hit $2k off a 10 cent super, how much would he be in for? Just trying to figure out what to give him that is fair.

If he has over 2k in losses at the end of the year he can use it to offset the gain - the answer really won't be known until the end of the year when he finds out if he's going to be burdened with paying taxes on the gain or not. the standard withholding on 5K or more is 25%.

Thanks to all.

If it was another person's account, I'd give him $200 as a courtesy.

for this "hypothetical" situation $200 (10%) is standard and will cover any headache involved with end of year taxes....throw him a bone with a garbage bag of losing tickets to claim losses vs. winnings on his taxes...hypothetical congrats and i wish we had a redboarding thread to simply gloat without fear of retaliation =)

They wont take anything on 2k. You should be able to write off losing tickets versus the winner ( depends by State ).

Or you can find a beard to sign for 5-10%

Congrats Scotty! What Scav & Rob has said - on 2k they won't take anything, but they will report it to the feds you'll be on the hook for taxes (at least federal tax, plus whatever your state tax rules are) unless you have an equal amount of verifiable losses to off set the gains.
