Technically, you do not have a problem, your aunts do. That is because the gift tax is owed by the giver, not the receiver. However, it would be much simpler and wiser to have each relative write you a check, not exceeding 13,000 from any one aunt. The bank is going to report your deposit, by law, to the IRS. The IRS looks at large cash deposits to determine if the money was obtained legally, and if any gift taxes may apply. With 3 checks, you will avoid any headaches.
