If my daughter were to give me say $10,000 as a gift, would it have a taxable effect on my social security income? Thanks

Not A Product Question

You mentioned a gift of $10,000. The person who gave the gift does not need to complete a Form 709 unless the gift to one individual is greater than $15,000. The person who received the gift does nothing at all ---except enjoy the gift.

No a gift would have no effect on your Social Security, nor would it go on a tax return.

Money that you receive as a gift is not taxable income to you, and you do not need to report it on your income tax return. Money that you gave as a gift to someone else is not deductible for your taxes.

Turbo Tax does not support the gift tax form 709, but here is a link:
