A gift is not taxed.
any gift tax reporting requirement is the donor's issue.
"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.

If you know, for sure, the purpose and intent of the check is as a gift to you, you don't need to worry about it.
