Whether J can exclude $10,000 received, to serve as an executor from his gross income.

Explanation of Solution
Gross Income Exclusions: Congress has enacted sections 101 through 140 for the authority to exclude certain items like gifts, gain from sale of principal residence, amounts received for higher education, compensation received for physical injury, disaster relief payment under qualified disasters and amount received under different circumstances, to be excluded from computation of gross income.
In this case, since J received the payment in lieu of his service as an executor, he is not entitled to exclude $10,000 from his gross income.
