Kerry Inger wants her students to see the interesting aspects of tax in everyday situations, and especially those that aren’t every day, like how tax laws can affect a baseball caught at a Major League Baseball game.
“Is that baseball taxable? It can depend on the player and situation,” she said. “An ordinary foul ball, no. But a key home run in the World Series, most definitely.”
Inger, associate professor in the Harbert College of Business’ School of Accountancy, teaches undergraduate and graduate tax accounting classes. The classes involve different approaches to teaching, but Inger brings out the best in her students, no matter the level.
