Here's the tax bite on $1.6 billion Mega Millions and $620 million Powerball jackpots
Strategies can be employed to reduce the amount of your win that is taxed, although they are best explored with the help of an experienced tax advisor. While it's anyone's guess who will end up winning the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots, there's at least one guaranteed recipient of a chunk of the loot — the IRS.

Suze enumerated a string “what can go wrong” scenarios as evidence that early retirement (on less than $10 million) leaves you vulnerable when life hands you lemons — a whole tree of lemons.

Investors on Wall Street continue to contend with a choppy and uncertain trading environment, even among popular sectors like tech stocks. A growing chorus on Wall Street is sounding the alarm, with analysts at Morgan Stanley warning that the large-cap stocks in the S&P 500 are the only holdout from a “rolling bear market’ that has already savaged pretty much every other asset class, including small-cap stocks, high-yield bonds, and emerging market assets. The fact that the S&P 500 is once again below its 200-day moving average supports this thesis, weighed down by bank stocks.

Trump’s Tax Push to Help Middle Class Could Help Top Earners Too
It’s still unclear how Trump will propose to reduce the tax burden on middle-class Americans, but one of the most straightforward ways would be to lower rates by 10 percent for single filers making up to $82,500. U.S. income tax rates are graduated and income dollars get taxed in chunks as they move up through the brackets -- which means wealthy Americans would also get to apply the reduced rate on their first dollars of income. “A millionaire gets the same size tax cut,” said Kyle Pomerleau, an economist at the conservative Tax Foundation.
