Gifts are not income, it goes nowhere on your tax forms. Nor is it deductible by the giver.
If the amount was over $15,000, the giver (not you, the recipient) MAY be subject to filing a gift tax return.
Gift Tax "Gift Tax" is somewhat of a misnomer. Even though a gift tax return 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.
