Is it Earned Income?

[Roberts]

The soon to be ex-husband of Christie Brinkley (Peter Cook) paid his mistress $300,000 for undisclosed reasons (don't we all know really?). Since this revelation is now public and has drawn the attention of the IRS I'm sure, what are the tax implications for the teenager?

Is this earned income, business income or a gift?

NOTHING in this question should lead you to believe Christie paid me money to keep quiet.

Depends on whether it was passive activity.

Or maybe depletion was involved.

Now she's REALLY going to get screwed.

What if she invested in enhancements to her assets? Can those be deducted as a business expense? Are they each deducted separately?

Is there an allowance for intangible drilling cost?

Penalty

Depending on her testimony he may get an early withdraw penalty.
