Tax Law Outline Flowchart: Are employee discounts taxable income?

A drawing from Federal Income Tax class — no people drawing, just colors — playing with shading to guide the flow…

This art features a detailed flowchart I drew during tax law study season, tackling the classic question: when do employee discounts count as taxable income? Originally created with digital watercolor and ink, it captures the complexity (and occasional absurdity) of tax doctrine in full color.

It’s a great conversation starter for tax students, bar takers, professors, and anyone who’s ever questioned the perks of the job.

You can buy a beautiful art print of this law school outline/flowchart over at my Etsy shop.

Printed on premium matte archival paper—smooth, heavyweight, and non-reflective—for a clean, durable finish that looks great framed in your office, study space, or law school lounge.

Note: This print was created back in 2012. While it reflects the law at that time, tax laws change often. Don’t rely on it for legal advice—just for inspiration and a little levity.

Thanks for stopping by!
