What is the name of your state? California
A friend of mine received a 25,000 check from a personal injury settlement. He doesn't like dealing with banks so he signed the check over to me. I have since put it into my bank account and there it sits.
My question is: Do I have to claim this money on my taxes as a gift? Are there any other liabilities that I might be overlooking?
Thanks for any help... Scott
