All-Star Trinity And Cheerupdates

[CricketCheerMom]

Yeah, I asked my Mom, who is a tax expert as well, and she indicated that moving an entire family, when the family benefits from housing, etc, in exchange for a service (in this case cheering) that would be considered income.

I would agree but just getting free tuition at a gym, I would not otherwise I know a ton of people who need to amend their returns.

Just Cheer Bows - I agree. Just tuition, no. I think she was saying that the difference would be in the minor child alone versus the family benefit of the "freebies." I won't pretend to know the particulars, but based on the info I gave her, that's what she said.
CheerDadof2 - Nothing is ever quite what it seems, is it? I'm thinking mostly in terms of possible ramifications of worst-case scenarios. If it isn't discussed, someone may very well make a big mistake if faced with a situation like this.

If college cheer were to be considered a legal sport in the near future, would it disqualify all the athletes who have been paid/ received monetary benefits from allstar cheering in college?

I can understand why this sometimes comes across as creepy or weird, but can you try looking at it a little differently? I'm a Packer fan and I always want to know who the QB is this season, who's been traded to and from the Bears and the Vikings, who the draft picks are and how much they are getting paid (a measure of their skills, perhaps).

But football is my second favorite sport. Allstar Cheer is my favorite. Why wouldn't I want to know this same type of information about 'my' favorite team and their competition?

Let's be friends.

I would think that people would be grandfathered in as the rule was not in place at the time.

O/T but if I am going to watch Mean Girls again so I can be up on all this quoting from the movie, do I want to watch the original from 2004 or Mean Girls 2 from 2011? They are both available on Netflix.

Straight to dvd with none of the original cast. Don't waste your time.

 

[notyourcheermom]

There is a mean girls 2?

Yes, different girls, though. Similar plot. Watched some of it getting ready for work this morning.

We moved a few years ago and moving bonus, moving van, travel back and forth to find a home, closing costs, utility shut off and turn on, etc, whatever the company covered in moving expenses IS considered income. For us, with the exception of the moving van, every claim or bonus went through the paycheck so taxes were withheld at that time. We paid an additional $18,000 in taxes that year, however, our moving bonus, after taxes, was "conveniently" almost the same amount.

As far as the house, I would imagine as long as they are paying some type of rent it is probably excluded. However, if it is considered "temporary housing" and they pay nothing, then it would have to be claimed as income to the tune of "fair market value".

Don't believe everything you see on the news especially in this case. They where never flown in, ask @JohnButler. Also she has two sister, the older one is still at Top Gun, the younger one made the trips to ATL and is now in Cali with her.

I'll be honest with you, there was so much wrong with that "news" story it's not even funny.

I believe the news story was about high school cheer and not allstars.
