<prompt> Human: I hope Im not entirely screwed here.. So I was having financial difficulties with bills earlier in the year due to some job related issues. I was having to put a lot of bills on credit cards and paying other credit cards with a credit card. The way I did this was to send my boyfriend money with PayPal and use my credit card as the source. He would then send the money back to me and I would transfer it to my bank so I could pay bills. Im now wondering as tax time is approaching if the IRS is going to view this as income on both of our parts. I sent him and he sent back 16,000 in total over the course of the year.Im since in a much better position financially but wondering how this will play out come tax time, can anyone offer advice on what I should do? Not sure if this is the right sub for this or not.  <response>: This is not considered income. You do not have to report.By the way, Im a CPA.
