Kerry is employed as a ticket vendor at an off-track betting parlor in New York. No credit is extended to customers, and employees are not allowed to bet on races. Kerry is a compulsive gambler and occasionally places bets without paying for them. In the past, she has always managed to cover her bets without being detected by her employer. Earlier this year, Kerry ran up $80,000 in bets that she did not pay for and won only $33,000. She was unable to cover this large loss and turned herself in to her employer. Kerry was convicted of grand larceny and sentenced to five years of probation, required to perform 200 hours of community service, and pay a $500 fine. Her employer was liable to the racetrack for the bets she had made and obtained a judgment against her for the $47,000 shortfall it had to pay because of her indiscretions. How much, if any, gross income must Kerry recognize from her illegal betting?
