Do I need to claim a go find me account

No, in general donations from GoFundMe.com are not considered taxable income and are not reported on your tax return.

As long as you are not offering anything in return (goods, services or a business interest), these donations are considered gifts. Gifts to you are not taxable income and the donor cannot claim a charitable deduction.
