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?
Each state has different laws governing such transactions.
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.
The exclusion includes ANYONE other than your spouse, meaning you can give anyone up to $15,000 each year (in 2012) without having to pay any gift taxes.
The gift tax is on the one who gives, not the one who receives it.

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.

No! That's completely ridiculous! That's like giving away free money!
there is anything i don't know what is inside each of them!
Gift cards for Rediff Shopping cannot be obtained for free. Just like any other business that offers gift cards a patron must first pay actual money which is then loaded on the gift card.

You should only give what you can afford without breaking the bank. You could also buy a gift and not give money at all. $30 - $50 is just fine.
Give your daughter the money by check and write on it at bottom left 'wedding gift' or give her the cash. There is no reason she would have to pay taxes on the money.
Well, the gift is free to you. Not to the other person who gives the gift.
