Do you pay taxes on sweepstakes?
In the United States, you pay taxes on your income. Lottery and sweepstakes winnings are considered income, even if you win a car or a boat and not money, so yes, you are expected to pay taxes on sweepstakes.
Much of the time when people win a physical item such as a car, boat, or house, they need to immediately sell the item in order to pay the income taxes based on the fair-market value of the item.
