I have no problem with the paragraph you cited. It is this paragraph that is the problem. Money for services rendered can not be considered a gift. It is taxable income and must be declared as such.

"Well then my advise to you is, consider that a gift. Forget about the IRA, because if you start trying to monkey around with an IRA, well first of all, it's not declarable income, you are going to get your - your going to get the woman in trouble - especially that amount. Consider it a gift because the reality is there would be no tax. But you cannot put that money in an IRA."
