    I don't give them the truck. I put them in the truck for $0.00. They pay for it what I pay for it. I take part of the revenue. They can pay it off at anytime or just make the payments.

    Don’t do it, lease it to them and let them do a buy out.

    here is why.

    they are on the hook for the asset value of the truck above $12,000, so if the truck is worth $36,000, the $24,000 is considered income.

    oh and even if you put a price on the truck, during their irs audit, the irs can and in most cases put a value on the truck for them.

    I would talk to an attorney first. What if you have to fire a guy after a year? He is going to want what the truck is worth at that time. He can claim you are just letting him go so you don't have to give him the truck. No good deed goes unpunished.
