Get your taxes done using TurboTax

many CPA firms have CFP's.    try contacting your state's CPA society

I'm not a CFP , but there are not many options available to defer taxes



One might be if you can take the winnings in installments

another - charitable giving (this assumes you can itemize)

maybe  - maximizing retirement plan contributions

be extremely wary of tax shelters, most end up bankrupt with the investor not even getting his investment back.  some are even phony which means the IRS will disallow the losses.  so not only won't you reduce your taxes you will lose your investment.     then the question becomes is it an investment loss or casualty loss, because if it's the later it's not deductible.
