When does a cash gift become income?

When it really isn't a gift. There is a myth out there that by giving a taxable payment a creative name, it can be treated as a gift. For example, if an employer gives his staff a check as a "token of his affection" for meeting their sales goals, it is still not a gift. Or if a neighbor gives you a thank-you $20 bill everytime you mow his lawn, it is still not a gift. I suppose a gift from illegal activities might be taxable. For example, if a bank robber gives a bank teller a gift for not identifying him in a line up, that might be taxable. Or an embezzler splits his loot with the people who fed him inside information, that might be taxable.

Depends. If you paid the premiums with after-tax dollars, then the payouts are tax-free. However, if your employer paid them and did not dedcut them from your pay, then your payouts are taxable. In addtion to that, if you split the cost of the premiums with your employer, and your half was paid with after-tax dollars, than the same percentage your employer paid is the percentage of payout that becomes taxable.
