My ex-father-in-law paid my tax payment for this year (2010) To the tune of $10,992.00 for federal and $584.00 for State (NJ). He wrote the FED check directly to the Internal Revenue Service and I put mine and my husbands SS# in the memo along with my extention form postmarked on time. My question is -- will this money in any way, be considered as income to me and my husband for next years taxes. Thank you
