Answer:

Since Grady received the $60,000 gift, he does not owe any taxes on that transaction. When a gift is made, the receiving party pays no taxes, but the giving party has to pay taxes if it exceeds the $15,000 annual threshold or the  $11.4 million lifetime exclusion.

But Grady must include the interests that he earned from the bonds as part of his gross income ($1,800). Interests are taxed as ordinary income.
