Is child’s room and board considered taxable income for parent?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
Yes. There is no deduction for a child's living expenses.
Are you asking about room and board for college-----or in some other context?
My 20 year old son has a full time job and still living in our home.
He pays us a monthly room and board.
I wanted to know if that room and board is considered taxable income for his mother and I?
He is not currently in school.
That sounds like simple family cost sharing----not something to report on a tax return----unless you have some sort of written lease agreement with your son.
you're sharing expenses. it is not taxable.
