Virginia Beach VA (PRWEB) May 20, 2013 - Liberty Tax Service, a subsidiary of JTH Holding, Inc. (NASDAQ: TAX), is offering free tax preparation along with distribution advice to the winner(s) of Saturday night's $590.5M Powerball jackpot. The winning numbers on the ticket, purchased at a supermarket in Zephyrhills, FL, are 10, 13, 14, 22, 52 and 11. With such an enormous influx of income, Liberty Tax is offering professional tax advice for the winner(s) at no cost.

Lottery winnings are considered “gambling earnings” by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and are therefore taxable income, regardless of whether the winner takes a lump sum or a series of annual payments. Liberty Tax can assist anyone who has come into a large amount of money on how to calculate federal and, in some cases, state taxes on those funds.

“Winning the lottery can be a blessing or a curse. We just want the winner to know that we can help explain the tax laws and keep them compliant with IRS regulations. And, no, we don’t want any money,” states Martha O’Gorman, Chief Marketing Officer at Liberty Tax Services headquarters in Virginia Beach.

Liberty Tax congratulates the winner(s) of the Powerball lottery, wishing them continued luck in all their future picks.
