Ed, an employee of the Natural Color Company, suffered from a rare disease that was very expensive to treat. The local media ran several stories about Ed’s problems, and the family created a website that generated more than $10,000 in gifts from individuals to help pay the medical bills. Ed’s employer provided hospital and medical insurance for its employees, but the policy did not cover Ed’s illness. When it became apparent that Ed could not pay all of his medical expenses, the hospital canceled the $25,000 Ed owed at the time of his death. After Ed’s death, his former employer paid Ed’s widow $12,000 in "her time of need." Ed’s widow also collected $50,000 on a group term life insurance policy paid for by Ed’s employer. What are Ed’s and his widow’s gross income?

Medical expense offset  25,000

Time of need pay             12,000

b) Ed and his widow's gross income is $97,000.  It is the sum of  all forms of earnings before any deductions or taxes. The gross income is higher than the net income, which is defined as the gross income minus taxes and other deductions.

Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

Ed's gross income includes the gifts and life insurance payout, but not the support received by his widow.

Explanation:

Ed's gross income includes the $10,000 in gifts from individuals and the $50,000 collected on the group term life insurance policy. These amounts are considered taxable income. The $12,000 paid to Ed's widow in her time of need is not considered gross income because it can be classified as a gift or as support received on account of the marital relationship.
