What is included in the Corvette Dream Giveaway Grand-Prize?
The Grand-Prize is the following: 1) a 1969 Corvette 427 convertible; 2) a 2013 Corvette 60th anniversary convertible; and 3) forty-five thousand dollars ($45,000.00) to be applied toward the winner's IRS withholding requirement for federal income taxes.
How does the $45,000 for taxes work?
IRS withholding regulations are based on the value of the Grand-Prize, which includes the grand-prize package and the cash for taxes. The Sponsor realizes that the withholding requirement would prevent many of us from being able to accept the prize and therefore has agreed to fund $45,000 toward the winner's withholding requirement for federal income tax.
Will I owe additional taxes besides the $45,000 paid toward my withholding requirement by the Sponsor?
The amount of income tax owed will vary depending on your personal income tax bracket for the year in which the grand prize package is received. The $45,000 paid by the Sponsor toward your withholding requirement may or may not fulfill the federal income tax due. There could be additional state and local taxes, depending on where you live.
