Mary won a $750 prize in a womens club raffle in 2016. No income tax was withheld from the prize.

The Key Lime Pie Company provides Carl with a company car to drive while he is working. The Company spent $6,475 to maintain this vehicle during 2016. Carl never uses the car for personal purposes. The Key Lime Pie Company also provides a cafeteria for all employees on the factory premises. Other restaurants exist in the area and so Carl is not required to eat in the cafeteria, but he typically does. The value of Carls meals is $650 in 2016.
