Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Even if it was considered to be a gift, gifts are not taxable income (it does not get reported on anybody's income tax return).
Worst case, if you removed $20,000: it might be considered that Dad gave you $5000 and give your husband $5000. As long as a gift is under $15,000, to any individual, no gift tax return is required.
Even then, "Gift Tax" is somewhat of a misnomer. Even though a gift tax return ( a separate item from income tax returns)may be required, very few people ever actually pay federal gift tax. The purpose of the gift tax return is usually only to document a reduction in the allowable estate tax exemption.
