Not if it is a true gift.
People often misuse the term "gift" to disguise some other type of payment that may be taxable. For example, if you spend 40 hours a week digging ditches and at the end of the week the person who told you to dig gives you a "gift," calling it a gift does not change the fact that it is a taxable wage.
And you may have to pay tax if you dispose of a gift of appreciated property. Let's say your parent bought stock for $1 a share some years ago and gives it to you. You won't pay tax on the gift itself, but if the stock is now worth $100 a share, you will pay tax on the $99 difference when you sell it. Unfortunately, it doesn't work the other way around. If your parent paid $100 for the stock but it is worth $1 on the day of the gift and you immediately sell it, you don't get a $99 deduction (capital loss).
There may be some cases in which the IRS can reclaim part of the gift. For example, if the gift constituted a fraudulent transfer to evade paying tax or if the parent does not have enough assets remaining to pay any gift tax that may apply.

If a parent gives their adult child a monetary gift of 10000 cash will the parent be allowed to write that off on their tax return in the year they actually gave the gift?
No. If you give your kid money, this doesn't make this money a write-off on the parent's tax return. == == Basically, everything you give your child..food, clothes, allowance, etc is a gift...but like most all life expenses, it isn't deductible! What you may be thinking of is the commonly mentioned ability to gift up to 10K a year to your children without a gift tax (not an income tax) consequence. However, if done regularly, especially to several children, over the course of years, it has the effect of reducing your likely total estate at death, which may decrease it below inheritence and other taxes/fees it would be subject to, hence saving taxes. It is part of estate planning. Which, as they have been increasing the estate tax exemption, is used less and less. Otherwise, a gift is never a deduction...and it may actually be taxable, under that gift tax, on the one giving it! Now to make things more complex....what you consider a gift may not be one according to the regulations. If they gift is given for many things... a common one being the child provided care to the parent in lieu of having to get a outside help....that is income to the child...(but may qualify as a deduction for the parent). I guess the key thing being...a gift has no strings attached.

When does a cash gift become income?
When it really isn't a gift. There is a myth out there that by giving a taxable payment a creative name, it can be treated as a gift. For example, if an employer gives his staff a check as a "token of his affection" for meeting their sales goals, it is still not a gift. Or if a neighbor gives you a thank-you $20 bill everytime you mow his lawn, it is still not a gift. I suppose a gift from illegal activities might be taxable. For example, if a bank robber gives a bank teller a gift for not identifying him in a line up, that might be taxable. Or an embezzler splits his loot with the people who fed him inside information, that might be taxable.
