Best Answer

Cash, check. money order, electronic transfer, payment in goods or services, bartering, forgiveness of debt: none of it makes any difference. If your employer hands you a check, cash, a sack of magic beans. or forgives your grandfather's debt to his family, it is all taxable.

It makes no difference if you are paid under the table, over the table, on the table, next to the table, secretly, publicly, or any other way. Even if your employer is cheating on his taxes and not reporting your wages, it makes no difference. Even if you are engaged in some illegal activity, it makes no difference.

However you get paid, you have to pay your taxes.

How do you assess child support when mother is paid cash?

Whether she is paid cash or not there should be papers on how much she earns a month. She still have to pay taxes so her income should be no secret. And when she gets the money I would think she would have to sign a receipt. When in court she would have to show these papers. The child support is usually based on the income so cash or not there should be no difference.
