Adrian is a salesperson who represents several wholesale companies. On January 2, 2019, she receives by mail a commission check from Ace Distributors in the amount of $10,000 and dated December 30, 2018. Adrian is concerned about the year in which the $10,000 is taxable. Although the check is dated 2018, she contends that it would have been unreasonable for her to drive the 50 miles to the Ace offices on a holiday to collect the check.
