If she was smart, she would have changed her residency to Florida immediately before she actually RECEIVED the payment in 2019. If she didn’t, New Jersey will take a significant (an non-deductible) chunk of her winnings.
It is my understanding that the taxes are based on the time of purchase.
It’s too late for that. That’s not how NJ tax law works. She was a resident when she bought the ticket. Sticky fingers will attach themselves to this tax bill.
Bless your heart! You think NJ would not collect state income tax on NJ winnings regardless of residence!
We don’t want people from NJ moving to FL, matter of fact nobody from the North East.
