The "gift" of free burgers to life for Charles Ramsey might come at a cost: income tax. 

The article doesn't mention the fact that Mr. Ramsey could also be responsible for child support as a result of this "gift."  Food for thought: at a rate of $6 per meal, once per day, Mr. Ramsey would be receiving a benefit of $2,190 per year. However, applying a 20% tax rate (approximately the average effective tax rate for those paying income tax), he would then owe to the IRS $438 per year.  THEN, he could also be required to pay child support on this amount, which, at the New York rate of 17% for one child, would be $372.30 per year.  Thus, his "gift" could end up costing him as much as $810.30 per year.
