Are Lottery Winnings in a Foreign Country Taxable in the US?
Q&A: Are lottery winnings in a foreign country taxable in the US?
Q: I am a US citizen living in England. If I were to win the UK lottery (which is tax free) – would I still be liable to pay taxes to the U.S? I file U.S. taxes each year along with the foreign earned income form.
A: Yes, foreign lottery winnings are taxable by the IRS in the US (though they are generally exempt from the particular state income tax). Do remember that if the aggregate value of of your foreign bank accounts exceed $10,000 at any time during the calendar year you have a legal requirement to file form .
