My mother in law moved in with us 2 years ago and has been giving us $200 a month to help with food and bills. Do I have to claim this as income?

No, that's a contribution she's making toward household expenses, and isn't taxable.


tonalc1
No, it's not considered income.

You don't, it is not income. At worst, it would be a gift to you. In that case, it is far below the amount that triggers a gift tax return. More likely, it qualifies as her share of household expenses.


Jonny Chicago
More importantly, the question is how the IRS would ever find out that you were receiving these payments anyways.

Basically, you have to do what you believe to be correct. Believe that its not income and if world turns on its head and the IRS becomes omnipotent and still decides to go after $2400 of income, you'll just have to pay the taxes then because of your good faith belief it wasnt income. (no penalties, no jail time.)


Arbee
Talk to a tax professional, but it seems it might work better for you if you called it a gift rather than income. If it can be called a loan, that changes things yet again. Gift tax is a different rate from income tax. Then again, some states (mostly in the NE) ruin that by taxing the H out of gifts.


Bill P
No. Your mother-in-law can "gift" up to $12,000 per year to each of you with no one having to claim it.
