I received a gift from my brother, do I have to pay a gift tax?

Answer by  Liz59 (10966)

No, if you have already received the gift, you would not have to pay a tax. You only pay duty on things you paid for online

No. Recipients of gifts owe no gift tax. Non-cash gifts are never taxed. Givers of cash are taxed only if their gift exceeds $11,000 per year per person.

If the gift is worth less than 10,000 dollars, neither of you have to pay a gift tax. If it is worth more than 10K, he will pay the taxes.

It depends on the size of the gift. If the gift is for a small amount ( less than $ 10,000 ) then you do not have to report the gift as taxable income.
