Brady sidesteps IRS, Chevrolet giving truck directly to Butler


Earlier I had posted about how much tax Tom Brady would have to pay the IRS if he gave the truck he earned as Super Bowl MVP to Malcolm Butler. Well now he can avoid that because Chevrolet is going to give the truck directly to Malcolm and cut out that pesky Super Bowl MVP middle man.

The company giving away the truck, Chevrolet, figured out a way for Brady to duck the gift tax: They're going to give the truck directly to Butler in a ceremony that's set to take place on Feb. 10 in Boston.

Unfortunately for Butler, he will now be responsible for the taxes on the truck which would come to roughly $13,860. But, that true American hero Tom Brady could once again step up and give Butler a hand and pay those taxes, which fall under the $14,000 limit for a monetary gift before you have to pay more taxes.

Even if Brady doesn't pay the taxes, Butler is still getting a hell of a deal on a new truck. That should offset the fact that he won't have to buy himself a drink in the Boston area for the rest of his life.

Me? well i thought you'd never ask. well i'm around 25 years old, give or take, i mean the only way to tell for sure is to cut me open and count my rings but for now i'm content to say i'm 25. i'm freakin funny, and if you disagree with me i will stab you in the jaw. i love to just chill with my friends, they are awesome, they laugh at my jokes, sure, it took some jaw stabbing but hey its not always easy. i haven't quite mastered the whole think before you speak program, apparently, if you start a sentence with "now don't take this the wrong way" people still take it the wrong way. i know, i know, it doesn't make any sense to me either, but it happens. twice while i was fishing, i've seen beavers with paws the size of frying pans that could rip a mans face right off! oh and i hate bears, its just terrible what happened to those two hikers from the czech republic. terrible. i really like to go fourwheeling, i like to work on cars but i'm way to lazy to actually do it. i cant wait to go snowboarding this winter, i'm pretty good, steve once said i looked like a train wreck, he's borderline pro, so that really made my day. oh and once i had a dream.
