Please confirm my understanding that tips she receives are included as part of her gross income? Gosh, Yardley; that's a tough one. Finally though, a question that doesn't require exhaustive research by the estate/trust wizards hereabouts. I believe IRS has already ruled for the prosecution ("yea"). However, many hair-doers as well as other independent contractors feel it's a subjective question open to debate . Lots tend to be "agin" while I'm obliged to argue "fer" and the damages are occasionally brutal (for both). "Such is life"; as the old man used to say. 6 Quote
BLACK BART Posted July 19, 2022 Report Posted July 19, 2022 Just curious, but how'd it come out? Quote

Client expected that and has no issue at all with it saying..."I just want to make sure everything is correct." Refreshing. 3 Quote
Medlin Software, Dennis Posted July 19, 2022 Report Posted July 19, 2022 Those that properly reported all earnings were better off getting Covid relief, compared to those who are/were skimming. Same for those who want to show full income for things such as a home loan. Also, I usually mention things like not having artificially low earning years with SSA in case they or theirs need disability, survivors, or retirement payments. Written as I get ready to take our DD to her hair person this afternoon. 3 Quote
