If participants got software to keep for no payment, then that is free, isn't it? Did they also say it was non-taxable? jdoering;473255 Wrote: > I was actually wondering if hardware to beta testers and such fell into > the same classification or if it was somehow different since they're > providing it for you to do something on their behalf (versus the MSFT > software which was purely an after-the-fact perk). If I understand you, are you thinking about the fact that hardware can't be tested unless it is provided? That's right. What would make it taxable is that the tester can keep it. If the testers sign paperwork beyond a non-disclosure agreement, it might mention that they receive the unit in return for testing. Or maybe no mention is made. Perhaps one of the Radio or Touch program participants could comment? -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69819 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
