I was told that little league policy was that it was ok if you recieved gift certificates from leagues within the district from honigs ,outback, and duffys for services as an umpire. After more investigation almost all of the district staff had recieved gift certificates. This is my question for any who read this thread. Isnt being paid through a gift an ilegall act called fraud and being paid through an organization then the umpires recieving a 1099 form at the end of the year a legall way of paying them?Does little league have this one backwards?

First off these so called "gift certificates" must total $600.00 or greater otherwise they are not taxable.
This was one of the drawbacks when our association changed payment polices. We now get paid directly through one location which means 1099 time.
When were on the "vouchering system" from each school as long as we did not go over $600.00 for that particular school we were fine.
In summary: It depends upon the value of these so called "gift certificates"
