If your employer provides a benefit to you it might be taxed.

Any fringe benefit you provide is taxable and must be included in the recipient's pay unless the law specifically excludes it. Section 2 discusses the exclusions that apply to certain fringe benefits. Any benefit not excluded under the rules discussed in section 2 is taxable.

Question from a caller: If you receive proceeds from settlement of a lawsuit, you may have questions about whether you must include the proceeds in your income. . . https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p4345.pdf

As we begin the year 2020, familiarize yourself with contracts to protect yourself and understand your agreement.

Professor Richard Gershon reviews contracts for us:

• Contracts don't always need to be written out, but having them in writing makes the agreement clearer to all parties.
• Illegal contracts aren't enforceable
• Contract = Promise and adequate consideration
• Counter offers negate previous offers
• Under 21? NO CONTRACT

A caller also learned you can disclaim an asset that is willed to you.
