POSTED: 11:54 am EST March 6, 2006

Jealous of all the swag given out at the Oscars?

Well, the Internal Revenue Service has a reminder for Oscar nominees and presenters.

Those pricey vacation packages and other gifts given to the stars are not tax free. In a statement, IRS commissioner Mark Everson says "movie stars face the same tax obligations as ordinary Americans."

"We want to make sure the stars `walk the line' when it comes to these goodie bags,” Everson said.
The luxury gift packages reportedly are valued at $100,000.
