Generally, you pay gift tax when your gift exceeds the annual exclusion for the person to whom you are giving it, which is $15,000 in 2012. However, there are other exceptions, and a lifetime exclusion of $5,000,000 that might be useful.

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.
