From a tax standpoint, the three main US tax issues that foreign investors need to be aware of are: (1) income tax; (2) estate tax; and (3) gift tax.

Same with realtors.. there is customs to give little gifts but not kickbacks.And home warranties are in the 300 to 450 range not much room there to give a kick back that would be meaningful or steer business.  

Id make sure it’s not cash , I’d do something that can be traced for tax reasons , maybe a gift card to a restaurant or home depot .

The debtor may be faced with taxes since the IRS sees a debt settlement as an income or gift.

It really is a gift.

And so far I have Happy bday gift to me!!

I have the work ethic, I have the drive, but a corporation got all the benefit other then a few bonus checks a year and a $25 gift card to the local grocery store during the holidays.I want to take care of my wife and children.

You aren't allowed to borrow your closing costs, they can be a gift though.  

If I really wanted something done fast I could order title at 8am and have a full title commitment by 4pm that day and close the next.. our title plants are all digital and each title and escrow company has a plant in the respective counties.. we get GREAT title and escrow service here.. and its UBER competitive.. do you ever have your title rep come over with gifts and take you to lunch.. ???? 

Are the extra boxes just due to Christmas from them buying gifts and having them delivered?
