Best Answer

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.

How do you claim a gift?

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.
