Only in California, "The original tax and spend state" would they issue 1099's for the value of the campsites. I often wonder why anyone would bother there.

This question has come up many times.

The federal government considers it taxable, And of all government agencies the one that most resembles Hitler's Gestapo is the IRS.

Here it is folks IRS pub 525 says
"Meals and Lodging

You do not include in your income the value of meals and lodging provided to you and your family by your employer at no charge if the following conditions are met.

The meals are:

Furnished on the business premises of your employer, and

Furnished for the convenience of your employer.

The lodging is:

Furnished on the business premises of your employer,

Furnished for the convenience of your employer, and

A condition of your employment. (You must accept it in order to be able to properly perform your duties.)

You also do not include in your income the value of meals or meal money that qualifies as a de minimis fringe benefit. See De Minimis (Minimal) Benefits , earlier."
So no it is not taxable under these conditions.

Yes, that would be counted as income.

I had previously stated in a different Workamping thread that if you received a W-2 or a 1099 form from the place where you are Workamping, then you are liable for the Federal and state taxes on all of the money that you had earned.

If you did NOT receive one of the above forms, then you don't have to claim anything as income.

For ANY income tax questions that all of you RVer's out there may have, the very BEST person to contact is the RV Tax Master.

His name is George Montgomery.

I'm sure he's a great tax consultant, but I'd be more likely to trust him if he'd used a spellchecker when he built his website.

Whether it's "under the table" and thus undocumented or not, it's still income and it should be reported for tax purposes. It's true that one isn't likely to get caught for not reporting it, but that's not the same thing as its being legally O.K.

And before making a decision not to report, folks should bear in mind that the person that gave them the money is likely to report it as an expense, probably with the recipient's name attached.

Let me ask you personally, have you been reporting ALL of the coins and bills that you have found on the ground over the years or the cash, products and services that were given to you that were not gifts as income?

Somewhere along the way, common sense has to prevail. After all, if EVERYONE living in this country were forced to obey the tax laws and revenue bearing taxes, then chances are the country would not have a trillion dollar plus debt as it does today.

Maybe the IRS could offer a "whistle-blower' program with a hefty reward to report offenders who do NOT report ALL of their income. That would probably take care of the illegal immigrant problem at the same time.

Our country does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem.

That is correct. There is a specific box on the 1040 for "Income not otherwise reported".

No need to get yer knickers in a knot, Richard- I didn't make a moral judgement.

I perceived the O.P.'s inquiry as one of legal obligations, tax-wise, and wanted to correct any misperception that might have been (inadvertently) created by the use of the "don't have to report" language in your post.

That's technically incorrect, and folks deserve to be aware/informed that there are risks (however small) attached to failing to abide by the rules.

I doubt that the O.P. would have asked the question in the first place except for a certain desire to avoid coming to the attention of the IRS and risking an audit over such a small misstep.
