On some of the TV shows guests as receiving free gifts. I was wondering if these gifts are taxable by the recipient. I think yes, as Other Income, though I'm not sure if this is so or if anyone actually reports it. And I also wondered about the home shows where they renovate a person's home (from leaky roofs, etc) to chic. In this case, the value of the gift is so huge I wonder if sometimes the recipient could even afford to pay it.
