However, what you call a gift and what the IRS defines as one may be different. And many things the world calls a gift are very much taxable indeed.
For example, remember when Oprah gave everyone in the audience a gift of a car? And then the INCOME TAX on the value of that gift was indeed due by the one getting it? (As is tax on winning any game show or lottery, etc)
The same is true in most all situations (outside of family) - call it what you want that doesn't change it (bonus, gift, holiday extra, performance, good looks, etc- whatever - it's income) - if you are given ANYTHING of value the value you have been given is taxable. PERIOD
Imputed income is not actual income, but is money that you have because you provide certain services for yourself instead of paying others for them, such as owning a house instead of renting. It is very hard to determine the value of imputed income and is only very rarely taxable, and only under certain circumstances.
Sure...you can call income from your employer anything you want, (and it doesn't matter if you get paid by say, having the use of a car or house), it is income and taxable.
It depends on the laws of the time. For many years, the difference between what you paid for the house and its improvements and what you sold it for was taxed. IRS Publication 253 has the information that you need to determine if your sale qualifies for income exclusion.
That depends on the laws of the county in which you and or your sibling reside. In some countries there is an inheritance tax that may have to be paid.
