i wonder if irs would be interested in these kickbacks as gifts and subject to federal tax. "Anyone is allowed to make non-taxable gifts of $11,000 (or less) per year per person. For a transfer to qualify as a gift, the person who makes the transfer (donor) may not receive any value in return. Property does not have to be given to another outright in order to qualify as a gift; giving someone limited rights to property may be a gift. Any gift over the $11,000 annual exclusion amount is taxable" starkey-law.com
