Income from Managing Family Rental Property

My husband manages his mothers rental property. From the profit--she gives him $200 each month. He is power of attorney for her and she already pays taxes on the income from the rental property. Do we have to claim the $200 monthly income on our tax return? I was told it could be considered a "gift"--there is no documentation that my husband works for her or techincally manages the property--he isnt really employed by her.

No you can not deduct the $200 monthly income as it is taxable income not gifts; gift is someone gives something of value without expecting anything in return.

I was told it could be considered a "gift"--there is no documentation that my husband works for her or techincally manages the property--he isnt really employed by her.========actually I do not think it is gift; it?s not a gift if it is given to you for your service.
