Surprise - Its Taxable

It's almost that time of year when you and the IRS must settle what you owe — or what the government owes you. Before you prepare your tax return, consider whether you'll need to include any of the taxable items listed below.


  • Social Security benefits

  • Unemployment benefits

  • Portion of a scholarship that covers expenses other than tuition, fees, and books (e.g., room and board, travel, etc.)

  • Canceled debt from credit cards, car loans and mortgages (Student loan debt is exempt.)

  • Honors with cash prizes

  • Certain alimony payments

  • Gambling winnings (lotteries, horse racing, casinos, sports betting, etc.) Some losses are deductible.

  • Gifts from an employer that reward an employee for services or help promote the company

  • Found property

  • Bartered property or services in lieu of cash


Consult your team of trusted advisors to determine which items you should include when preparing your income tax return for 2025.
