These “good old days” will be making a strong comeback when the banks and govt. finally get rid of cash. Every exchange of money will have a fee and a tax, even if you just pay the neighbor kid to cut your grass.
davecarraa: An exchange depends on a willing buyer and a willing seller. I would not agree to the exchange involving any amount of money, therefore some price imposed by a third party is irrelevant. This is why “none of your business” real estate contracts state “for ten dollars and other good and valuable considerations” – the deal is at least for $10, but setting a price on the other considerations is irrelevant as it may have nullified the contract. Now, if it can be shown that the considerations involved money, then taxing authorities have a case (in in real estate, that is easy enough to prove) but pie for cleaning is not absence proof that the exchange was agreed upon previous to the exchange. Otherwise it is gift and gift and well below the gift tax figure.

Did you report that to the IRS? It has value and you should pay your fair share of income tax on it. ;-)

Apple Pie is ok but if it was Rhubarb Pie then you would really be talking. Rhubarb Pie best pie in the world (and you can leave out the strawberry)
