Donald was killed in an accident while he was on the job. Darlene, Donald's wife, received several payments as a result of Donald's death. What is Darlene's gross income from the items listed below? a. Donald's employer paid Darlene an amount equal to Donald's three months' salary ($60,000), which is what the employer does for all widows and widowers of deceased employees.

b. Donald had $20,000 in accrued salary that was paid to Darlene.

c. Donald's employer had provided Donald with group term life insurance of $480,000 (twice his annual salary), which was payable to his widow in a lump sum. Premiums on this policy totaling $12,500 had been included in Donald's gross income under section 79.

d. Donald had purchased a life insurance policy (premiums totaled $250,000) that paid $600,000 in the event of accidental death. The proceeds were payable to Darlene, who elected to receive installment payments as an annuity of $30,000 each year for a 25-year period. She received her first installment this year.
Darlene's gross income from the receipts is $86,000.

a. Employer payments, not excluded as gift. The fact that the payment is part of company policy provides the earmarks of compensation rather than gift.
