Question

I plan to become a real estate specialist who works with seniors. Once I get my designation, I will approach seniors’ groups and offer their members a rebate on real estate commissions they would otherwise pay. How should I treat these rebates for tax purposes?

Answer

Rebates are more common than ever, and the tax answer still turns on the same two questions it always did: whether you write a check or simply take a smaller commission.
