Explanation of Solution

Differences between income for income tax purposes and economic income:

  • As per Internal Revenue Code, Income for tax purposes is defined as gross income realized from services, property, capital assets in the form of salaries or wages, rent, interest, and dividends. Whereas, the income which increases the wealth or value of assets, whether it is realized or not realized, are recognized as income is the notion of economists.
  • Economists measure the income as the increase or decrease in wealth that arises during a year. Whereas, income tax includes those increase or decrease in wealth that are realized by the taxpayer during the year.
  • Any changes in the wealth that is not recognized cannot be taxed but, the income which increases the value of assets and is realized is taxed by tax laws.
