Internal Revenue targets prize essay tax payouts
The Internal Revenue Bureau will tax prize money from essay contests such as those run by the American Bar Association. Authorities say the 1939 ruling that these payments were tax free is not binding now and winnings from radio shows and similar contests will be taxed as ordinary income. The shift follows broader tax enforcement, including actions against radio stars and farm groups, with the bureau asserting that any prize receipt constitutes taxable income.
