Shannon asked:


Hello! Throughout 2008, my hubby and I have built up points through a rewards program with our bank, we then used these points to receive gift cards for restaurants that we frequent. Will we need to report these rewards as miscellaneous taxable income? Will we get a 1099 from the bank? (as we can not figure out how many we received or how much they were throughout the entire year.)

Thank you in advance.

The 16GB 2nd Generation iPod Touch retails from Apple for $299.00. It has never been higher. There are no service plans, or any additional costs, and the gift didn’t come with any extras. How do I/Can I argue the difference in the value of the taxable gift assessment?

Pigg asked:

I will be receiving a number of financial gifts over the next few years and am wondering if a gift given today (or in Feb/March?) would still be eligible for the 2006 tax year.

Much as with an IRA you can contribute money in early 2007 to reduce your 2006 income, can you use this same strategy for financial gifts?…have a gift of $10,000 today be counted towards that person’s gift limit to me for 2006?
