Really, it depends on whom it's from and even a bit of the circumstances involving it.
But, remember the Oprah thing...with the cars....and they had to be reported as income (and tax paid) by the recipient? And the givor has to provide a 1099...etc.
Basically, if it's over 600$, there is going to be a reporting requirement, and if it isn't from a family member, there will be a tax requirement...sometimes on the one giivng it a gift tax is imposed.
And to be certain, if its from an employer, regardless of the reason claimed, it's taxable as payroll.
What I'm trying to say (and relevant to the below), is while gifts (especially between family members) can be structured to be not taxable (or only taxable under gift tax rules to the givor), to either the givor or recipients, I have frequently seen what was considered a gift by the recipient isn't really considered so (and is deemed to be income) under IRS rules. what you call it isn't the thing....what it actually is carries.
You can gift up to $11,000 to someone without any tax consequences. If you gift more than that, the giftor must file a Gift Tax Return and pay a gift tax. The tax is typically paid by the giftor, not the receipient.

Assuming the cash is from a legal source and given legally, there is no limit on how much cash you are permitted to give or receive. However, large gifts of any kind may need to be reported and could be subject to the gift tax which is paid by the donor. If you receive gifts of any kind from foreign sources totaling over $100,000 in a single year, you must report them on Form 3520 even though no tax may be due.

Large gifts from a source outside of the United States need to be reported on Form 3520. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i3520.pdf Other gifts you received, if they really were gifts, do not need to be reported. Remember, if you do something in return for a "gift" it is not really a gift. For example, if you babysit your neighbor's kid and the neighbor gives you $100, that is not a gift. A gift has to come with no strings attached and no obligation to do anything with the gift. If you are looking for a way to disguise a payment to turn it into a "gift," there is no way you can "claim" anything that will magically change the payment into a gift. If you are the one contemplating giving the gift, if you give more than $13,000 to any one individual in 2009, you must file Form 709. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i709.pdf
