From: Lisa Date: Fri, 04 Nov 2005 Do we have to pay taxes on a gift of $100,000 from my parents for our first home? Do my parents have to pay tax on it? Answer Date: Mon, 07 Nov 2005 Hello Lisa, Gifts from family members aren't taxable income for income tax reporting.There is a federal gift tax system. Gifts of cash exceeding $11,000 per donor, per donee, per year are exempt from gift tax. For example, your parents can give a total of $44,000 to you and your spouse in one year and not be subject to tax.rom: Lisa Date: Fri, 04 Nov 2005 Do we have to pay taxes on a gift of $100,000 from my parents for our first home?
