Jensen reported the following items during the current year:

Cash found in a desk purchased for $30 at a flea market 400
Inheritance 11,000

$ 1,400
$ 1,770
$ 1,800
$12,400

ANSWER:  $ 1,800

The $400 cash is also included in income under the treasure trove principle. The $400 is not offset by the $30 used to purchase the desk, but she does have a basis of $30 for the desk. Inheritances are never included in gross income.
