Probably a dumb question, but, i won 9 Grand on lottery 3/2023. When cashed, Lottery Official took out $2,160 in Federal Taxes. Friends are telling Me to file and get it all back. But, im not itemizing, i am full retirement age in Florida, and only receive Social Security . No part time jobs, or no other Income!! What is a Professional Opinion, Thanks

Well you have to enter the full $9,000 as income on your tax return. And enter the withholding. Whether you get a refund or not depends on your total income, withholding, filing status, etc. But if you only get Social Security you would probably get all the withholding back. You should file a tax return. You don't need to itemize to get it back.
You should probably file and get at least some of that Federal tax refunded.
HERE is a link to a new IRS direct tax service you might try. It should be free for you to use.
HERE is a link to the IRS Free File
HERE is a link to start with TurboTax Free. Depending on the forms you need, it might not let you file for free.

Quick Shoutout for answering My Question. Didn't believe My Brothers. Tested waters here. Y'all were right. I'm getting every penny the Lottery Office charged Me. Thanks Ma'am!
