There is no ANY tax on the gift of $45K;you, as a donee, a recipient, do not need to pay any tax to IRS/your home state. Your FIL, as a non US alien do not need to file irs form 709 either. No worry about this. If your FIL is a US resiewdnt/ citizen, then he needs to fiel form 709 for the gift;in principle, only If you are a citizen or resident of the us, you must file a gift tax return whether or not any tax is ultimately due If you gave gifts to someone in 2014 totalling more than $14k ,other than to your spouse, you probably must file Form 709.
