This PodCast pertains to the distinction between compensation income and gifts.
Specifically, the issue is, Is a payment to a person taxable compensation income or a non-taxable (for income tax purposes) gift. The case in question is the case of Larsen v. Commissioner, TC Memo 2008-73.
The materials for the podcast are at http://www.edzollars.com/2008-04-16_Gift_Comp.pdf.
We also briefly discuss an interesting episode of a podcast I found on small service business operating issues at a place you might not look--check out http://macbreaktech.com/63/making-mac-your-business/ for an interesting listen that really isn't very MacIntosh (or even computer) centric--just a general discussion of issues facing small service businesses.
