Original Note:
The IRS makes it clear that reporting and paying gift taxes are the responsibility of the donor (person making the gift), not the recipient of the gift. As such, there was nothing for Justice Thomas to "report" or "pay taxes on" to the IRS. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-news/at-01-31.pdf https://www.irs.gov/faqs/interest-dividends-other-types-of-income/gifts-inheritances/gifts-inheritances-1 https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i709
