Taxable Income for Alexis?
What kind of bomb was it? The exploding kind.
How can a blind man be a lookout? How can an idiot be a policeman?
But that's a priceless Steinway. Not any more.

The nature of use of a gift or the nature of the recipient can affect whether the gift is subject to gift tax or is deductible by the donor, but a gift is never taxable income, regardless of how it is used or who gave it.
