Probsbly the easiest way to find a CORRECT answer is to ask IRS, they are
generally really helpful, especially if you are a foreigner
http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98968,00.html

But of course you can find some answers online too...it is natural that one
gets taxed over certain amount of a "gift"...and in the US it tends to be
the giver;s responsibility to pay it...but never hurts to ask, and the
foreigners may have some exceptions. Who knows...
