Hmmm. I had assumed (and it appears I am wrong about this), than when people got hundreds of thousands of dollars in donation, there would be some tax event.

Interesting.

What if the individual is not residing in the US, nor is a US citizen? We plan to ask my father-in-law for $100k in the next two years to pay off our mortgage.

No tax issues except you have to report the income to the IRS if it's over 100k in a year but not pay taxes on it.

According to the GoFundMe website, "most donations on GoFundMe are simply considered to be 'personal gifts' which are not taxed as income in the US".
