No, the recipient NEVER pays gift tax. Gifts are not income and not taxable. However, the person GIVING you the gift may have to pay gift tax on the value of the house that exceeds the annual exclusion of $15,000. They may be better off gifting you a partial ownership over several years, where each part is worth less than $15,000. If the gift is from your spouse, there is no gift tax.

Do you have to pay taxes on gift money that was given to you?

Federal gift taxes are not paid by the recipient. However, in the rare case where the donor does not have the resources to pay gift taxes they may owe, the IRS might try to recover some or all of the gift from the recipient. The donor may owe a gift tax depending on the size of the gift and depending on what other gifts the donor has given.

Does grooms mother give her son agift?

The groom's parents usually pay for the rehearsal dinner, which is their gift to the couple. Another small gift to the couple can be given. If the mother wishes to give a small gift to her son of some type, this is perfectly acceptable, although she should also give a small gift to her daughter-in-law as well. If the parents did not pay for a rehearsal dinner, then the value of the couple's gift should be a bit higher.
