Earned income. Earned income is pay you receive for work you perform, and includes salaries, wages, tips, and professional fees.

Your earned income is included in your gross income, along with unearned income from interest, dividends, and capital gains. If you have earned income, you're eligible to contribute to an individual retirement account (IRA).


Earned Income
Earned income is income for services rendered as distinguished from income generated by property or other sources. Earned income includes amounts received as wages, tips, bonuses, other employee compensation, and self-employment income, whether in the form of money, services, or property. The definition of earned income is not the same for all income tax provisions. For example, alimony is treated as earned income only for purposes of determining how much an individual can contribute to an IRA.
