A true gift is not taxable to you. However, depending on the amount and if he is a US citizen, a green card holder or permanent US resident, he may be liable for gift tax.

As John stated, the gift is not taxable to you. However, if it is in excess of $100,000, you will need to report it: http://willstrustsestates.blogspot.com/2013/06/receiving-gifts-or-inheritance-from.html
Best of luck.
