Very fortunate to find this Question/Answer since I have a similar situation that I'm hoping to get clarification on!
My wife (a licensed realtor) represented us as the Buyers Agent when purchasing our new home. The seller credited her commission back to the Buyer (i.e. my wife and I) during Closing.
1) Would this still be treated as a non-taxable event (reduction in the cost basis of the home)?
2) Is this reportable as income when we file our taxes? Neither our closing attorney or the seller has sent us 1099
