do you really think that he would get all that scott free of taxes

What if he doesnt sell it?

well thats what we're bithcing about...

Even if he does not sell the ball, Murphy would still owe the taxes based on a reasonable estimate of its value, according to Barrie. Capital gains taxes also could be levied in the future as the ball gains value, he said.

Indeed... I think that taxing the guy for the ball if he keeps it is ridiculous. Now, if he sells it... sure, that is income. But if he keeps it? He didn't make any money yet... tax him if he sells it but not for keeping a **** baseball.

I agree with yah 100%, our government is argh:verymad: //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif ...they're just plain out effin stupid with some crrap. I mean like come on he caught the ball, does every home run catch have to be taxed now? What about those tee shirts the stadium sometimes shoots into the crowd? Should that be taxed too? SO what if it is worth money, it was a "gift" we dont tax gifts to others. Man the goverment is just jealous they miss all the fun.

Yes its crap if they make him pay taxes on the ball if he doesnt sell it but this is also only from a tax lawyer not the IRS. Im sure they havent decided what they are going to tax him on if at all. And if you read the article his is from Queens he was just on his way to Australia.

What if he doesn't want to sell it? It's not like he came from Australia to see a game to make money. I'm sure that ball is worth a tremendous amount to him, emotionally.

But it may not be worth 200K in taxes he'd have to pay should he not sell it.

I don't really give a fuk if he wanted to keep it, too dam bad. Worst case scenario he made at least 400K.

Besides the IRS hasn't even said that he will have to pay taxes on it should he decide to keep it.

Unless he comes from old money, in which case it doesn't matter, i cant imagine him not wanting to sell the thing. I mean its a fukkin baseball and he is a college student; he is a retard who should die if he doesn't want to sell it.
