19. Does the recipient of a gift of less than $12,000 have to report the gift fund as income?
No, as long as that truly was a gift, rather than payment for work. Recipients are not taxed on gifts that really are gifts. The $12,000 amount is refered to as the annual gift-tax exclusion. It means you can give away as much as $12,000 this year to anyone you choose and to as many people as you wish without having to worry about any tax considerations and without having to report the gift.
A question that frequently arises is whether the person making the gift can deduct it. The answer is only if the gift is made to a qualified charity, and only if the donor itemizes deductions.
