It's not really a problem, but you should file a gift tax form 709 with the IRS each year for any gift over $13,000 (2009 or 2010). The amount above $13,000 is deducted from your allowance of 1 million dollars in a lifetime. So you don't owe any gift tax until you used up the entire million, but this is how the IRS wants you to keep track of it.

My Mother is giving me $48,000 to pay off my mortgage. I talked briefly to a cpa and he said the gift tax thing would not be a problem. Does anyone know about this?
