Deductions & credits

Hi, thanks for the response.   My son earns too much for me to deduct it, but that is not really my concern.   Since this is over the $14,000 gift limit,  will it be considered taxable income?  If I pay for $10,000, and then gift $10,000 to another person - and they pay for the remaining 10,000 - -  would that get around the $14,000 limit of gifts?
