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.

Conversely, if the employee pays for the LTD premiums with after-tax dollars, the benefits received would typically be tax-free. It's important for employers and employees to consult tax professionals for specific guidance based on individual situations.
