<prompt> Human: EDIT: Dunno if theres a post flair for solved, but yall figured this out for me. Thanks for all the quick help!x200B;Hi rpersonalfinance,So as the title says, Ive given my parents about 100K over the last 6 or 7 years for various reasons medical bills, couldnt make mortgage or property tax, etc. Nothing too large at once that I couldnt handle, but it adds up. Not sure if it matters, but half the time these transactions were me cutting my folks a check and half the time it was me dealing directly with the creditors is that the right term? whoever it was that they owed money.Anyway, in my mind it was always a gift bc while I love my family, Im realistic and never expected they could pay me back. Well, the housing market where they live is sizzling hot now and theyre in the process of selling the family home. And bless their hearts, they want to pay me back once the sale goes into escrow.So this is nice, but Im curious what the tax implications are? Like would I have to pay income tax on this after my parents already paid capital gains tax on the sale of their home? And why would it be income when its just my own money coming back to me? What should happen here? My understanding of taxes is just whatever TurboTax tells me to do.Thanks,Thanos_Snap_Survivoryes this is a newthrowaway account; apologies if that looks sketch to some people  <response>: Bless you for me being a good, selfless sondaughter. People should take an example from you.
