Is loaning interest-free money to relatives illegal?

100% true and chances are you are not paying taxes on groceries when you are shopping and you don't even realize it.

Go buy a steak from publix. It will scan for the amount on the label and you will only pay for the amount on the label.
Try it with a can of corn. Same result.

I worked at a grocery store in highschool. I've manually entered in barcodes into the system on new products that arrived and there was simple check box for if the item had sales tax.

You are charged tax on processed items like ready to eat pies, already made sandwiches from the deli, hot items prepared on site.

If you go to a grocery store and pay tax on a steak or a can of corn you should let a manager know that a barcode is wrong in the system.

When you give away money or leave it as an inheritance, the people receiving it are taxed.
