Arch, Since my last entry, I took the liberty and contacted the Audit Section of the Nashville IRS and found out the "tax status" of the relationship
between the sponsor and the individual enjoying the sponsorship. I was told any direct subsidy is a "taxable event" that should be reported by the company and the individual as "taxable unearned income" on a W-2 form. I thought you might find this interesting. Regards___TNWalker/Everette
