Here's how the IRS works. EV = (probability of him paying x)*x - (cost of getting him to pay x) Cost of a letter stating the value of the ball and taxes he owes: $0.43 for the stamp + maybe $0.50/sheet for nice letterhead P_pay: something more than zero x: $200,000 The IRS makes +EV plays. He just has to make P_pay and x go down while forcing their cost up by hiring a decent tax lawyer. [/ QUOTE ] this needs some love |

Not a tax guy, but aren't you allowed to keep a ball you catch at a baseball game as part of your rights as a ticket holder?
If so, he might have an argument that he doesn't have to pay taxes until he sells because he simply has an unrealized gain. |

If you were to win $100 million. Pay all the taxes, then turn around and give your friends & family $1 million each. Guess what? Taxes must be paid AGAIN for the money you just gave out. Sounds like double-taxation to me. We are far from perfect- but we are not as bad as others would want us to be. |

If I recall correctly, in a similar situation a few years ago regarding Mark McGwire and the record for the most home runs in a season, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue announced that the IRS would not tax the fan on the ball unless he sold it. He could also return the ball to McGwire free of the gift tax.
