Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The answer is A) $2,000

Explanation:

According to the IRS Publication 525 (2018), Taxable and Nontaxable Income

<em>"</em><em><u>If you receive tangible personal property (other than cash, a gift certificate, or an equivalent item) as an award for length of service</u></em><em> or safety achievement, you generally can </em><em><u>exclude its value from your income</u></em><em>. However, the amount you can exclude is limited to your employer's cost and </em><em><u>can’t be more than $1,600</u></em><em> ($400 for awards that aren’t qualified plan awards) for all such awards you receive during the year. Your employer can tell you whether your award is a qualified plan award. Your employer must make the award as part of a meaningful presentation, under conditions and circumstances that don’t create a significant likelihood of it being disguised pay." </em>

Ed has to include the $2,000 he received as income but the $250 watch can be excluded.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

The answer is created a first-place science fair project.

Explanation:

When writing a resume, we usually refrain from using subjects when explaining our past work experiences and achievements. Generally, we focus on using verbs in past tense to explain what we have managed to do in these contexts. More specifically, it is preferred to use action verbs since our resume is supposed to give an explanation on what we have done in the past.
