Calvin and Gloria were divorced in a prior year. As part of the final divorce decree of the court, Calvin was ordered to pay $500 a month toward the support of his two children, Robert and Myra. During 2016, Calvin got 6 months behind in his child support payments. As a result of his delinquency, two things happened in 2016 to allow Calvin to catch up in his payments. Gloria had Calvin's wages garnished for $1,000 to pay 2 delinquent months' child support. Calvin, a cash-basis taxpayer, was due $2,000 for past work he had done for the XYZ Corp. He told the XYZ Corp. to pay the $2,000 directly to Gloria to make up 4 months' child support. The XYZ Corp. paid the money directly to Gloria. Which of the following statements is true?

c. Calvin constructively received both the $1,000 wages and the $2,000 income in 2016.
