One Time Bonus-Income Averaging

Feb 13, 2007 2 Replies

My son received a one time bonus which almost tripled his



2006 income over previous years and what he expects to earn in the next few years. In the old days there was a provision called Income Averaging that allowed a TP to spread a bonus like this over five years. Anything similar in the current tax code that would help in this situation. Thanks in advance.

No, except for farmers. Income averaging for all disappeared in 1986.

Nope, unless you're a farmer and this is farming income.
