Yes, if you're taking that heat home and using it to heat your house. Then it's part of your compensation. I have no doubt that if the IRS could find a practical way to figure out which awards were obtained from miles an individual did not pay for, they'd tax them. However, as that is not practical (particularly for the small amount of $ it would bring in), it just isn't going to happen any time soon. tls
