No, you do not claim gift money as income because gift money is not considered "taxable income" within the meaning of the US Internal Revenue Code. In fact money given as a gift may be subject to federal gift tax that the person making the gift has to pay under certain very specific circumstances, which no one wants to read about here. Feel free to check the IRS Code for the details.

I want to gift money to my daughter vfor a downpayment on a home, but she wants to pay it back when she gets her income tax refund can she do this?
Claim the loans? You mean claim the interest on the loans, right. Loans are neither a deduction or income.
No. If any gift tax is due, it is the responsibility of the donor. However, in extreme cases, the IRS may try to claim the gift if the donor fails to pay tax.
How you claim a gift will depend on what site the gift is from and what their policies are. Any legitimate free gift will be accompanied by clear instructions on how to claim it; however, many unsolicited free gift offers are scams. Asking for personal financial information or money in order for you to claim the gift are signs of scams.

You won't believe this until you check with someone and verity it. If your mother gives you a gift of more than $13,000, your mother owes gift tax on the amount over $13,000, not you. You do not even claim it as income. See link
