In a recent video I saw (within the last two days), he commented that normally he would not be doing any of this (cooking, cleaning). Sorry, can't remember exactly which one, but hey, I'm sure they get so bored in the house they actually enjoy doing that stuff.

Does anyone know if taxes will be deducted before they get their winnings? And approximately what would the taxes be on $500,000?

Ivory, I think they can elect an amount to have withheld prior to receiving the check (federal). State would be on a state by state basis.

Ivory, I am not sure. Richard Hatch got in trouble with the taxes for Survivor, so he got the whole check and it was his responsibility. I don't know if CBS has changed anything regarding the winnings.

I was wondering about the stipend and the taxes on that. Is that a winning, or an income?

Ivory_mist, I think that the winner is responsible for paying their own taxes. Remember, Richard Hatch? Survivor winner who went to jail because he didn't pay the taxes.

Right, Zgood..it would be an election of a percentage..10%, 20% whatever for federal, or if they elect Zero, then there you go lol. Good question about the stipend; have no clue how that is treated. Depends if they are given a 1099 Misc or a W2, I would think..jmo of course.

Back. Dick outside talking to camera about being sore and will get in the hot tub and will probably stay in there all day. Dani complaining that they are not going to be "free" to do what they want after Tuesday night; she needs to get her hair done..lol.

Their money is called a stipend not salary or earnings. Thus it's in the winning category, I think, and is taxed more heavily which I think stinks :-)

Could we send a petition to CBS asking them to get Dani's hair done before the final? The girl is in desperate need.

Yep, Meggie..poor Dick; he tries wayyyy too hard sometimes; which, in all fairness, CAN be annoying.

But when she is in one of these moods he cannot say the right thing. I think she should eat some of her cookies and maybe the sugar will raise her spirits because I do not enjoy this particular mood of hers. And she is here to entertain ME, lol!

Ivory_Mist, this is a video where Zach explains to Jameka what he knows about the taxes on winning the show. Now whether his explanation is right is up to someone that actually knows this stuff, cuz I certainly wouldn't know. And whether the taxes are taken out before they receive the money was never addressed by Zach.

As totally happy as I am with the final two, if Daniele is so freakin unhappy I'm sure she could do a voluntary exit.
On the other hand, I'm glad to see that Dick isn't letting her put a damper on his happiness.

Ivory on your earlier question, I don't think that BB deals with the tax issues. That is not their responsibility. It's up to the individuals who get the money to deal with their own taxes, as in the case of BB HGs they aren't actual paid staff of the production company.

Dani has gone back to bed, why does the cam keep going back and Dicks in the hot tub, it would be nice if BB gave them some activity to do.

Having won money in a casino, the money was added to my total income for that tax year thus putting me into a higher catagory but it was 35%.

To renew the tax discussion - winnings are not taxed any differently at the Federal level than any other source of income, outside of capital gains which are presently taxed at the lowest tax rate.

I would think that income of $500,00 would certainly put that person in the top tax bracket!

Most casinos where my clients have played have a 10% withholding policy. Depending upon other income that is usually NOT enough to cover the additional tax liability.

well I know that my bonus check is taxed at a higher level than my normal paycheck.

I have been listening while I do other things and that little rant that Dani went on about not whining but just saying how she feels sure showed me her age, LOL.
