Income The money a person makes from labor, investment, or any other source, especially in the course of a year. Receiving income is the goal of all commerce. It is usually taxed by the government. See also: Income tax. income (1) For IRS purposes, income is never precisely defined, but it apparently includes all moneys received from any sources unless specifically excluded by some IRS Code provision. (2) In business, all the revenues derived from the business, less all expenses. Many people use the word income interchangeably with revenues,but revenue implies a gross figure without deductions,and income implies an amount after expenses. Income The word "income," in its broad sense, is the gain derived from capital, labor, or a combination of the two. It is distinguishable from the capital itself. Ordinarily, for income tax purposes, the word "income" is not used alone. Rather it is used within such descriptive terms as gross income, taxable income, and adjusted gross income, all of which are defined elsewhere in this glossary. How to thank TFD for its existence?
