The fact that this is taxable is the ridiculous part in my opinion. Get out of our pockets uncle Sam.

Has the IRS said it was taxable yet?

Has the IRS said it was taxable yet?

 

The last I read, the IRS rep quoted said they'd do their jobs and investigate, and pursue collection if it were taxable. Somewhere I read a comparison to game show winnings. However, technically, I see a big difference. A game show requires a competition. That guy didn't compete, simply caught a ball and gave it back. What the Yankees organization did is gift him, but it wasn't a prize. Does that make any sense to anyone else? :lol:

Yes, and that makes all the difference in the world.
