Yes - Gift cards from employers are taxable income. They should be reported by the employer as wages and reported by the employee as income.

There is an exception if the gift is de minimus, but the exception is genuinely difficult to meet.

Is a bonus considered a gift and are you taxed as such?

A bonus from your employer is not a gift and is strictly income. It is in no way a gift and cannot be considered as such. It is income from your employment and is reported as wages on your tax return. The employer is required to pay half of the social security and medicare taxes and to deduct the other half from your bonus check. The bonus is the same as any other income and must be treated as such.

Can you add money to an edge card online?

Unfortunately no. The reason is that the credit stored on an Edge Card is not taxed. This is because money put on an Edge card is from trading games in at a GameStop location or by a credit card (at the store). Since the games are traded for in-store credit, the government does not own this "currency", thus it is not taxed. GameStop does sell gift cards, which are essentially the same, except taxed.

If the employer paid 30 for a 50 gift card. What is the employee imputed income. 30 or 50?

Even though the employer paid only $30 for it, the IRS considers the value of the benefit received by the employee, not the cost to the employer. Therefore, the employee must report $50 as income.
