Have them sell it to you for a dollar. There are forms online that you can download to transfer a weapon. Not sure about the age though.

Depends on your state laws. If you are of legal age and have the required licenses they should be able to do a personal transfer to you.

At 14 i don't believe they can sell it to you, but if the proper forms are filled out it can be gifted. I'm no lawyer though so i could be wrong. c3 would probably know

40 years ago my parents gave me a Remington 1100 12 guage for Christmas. In the vast majority of the U.S. it is still legal to gift a gun to someone that can legally own it.
Check with someone that really knows IL laws to be sure. As a minor child it is largely semantics regarding who owns the gun, your parents would be accountable for whatever happened if you had an accident with or misused the a gun.
Most states have laws specifying a minimum age for unsupervised use of firearms.

Is this an Illinois gun law question or an IRS question?
The phrase "gift" is usually associated with an amount of money is it pertains to the gift taxes the gift might cause. The value of any gun (almost) would not rise to the level of the exemption. It shouldn't be a problem at all.
Now if you are asking a legal question, the adults involved should do their own homework and not rely on the word of a (obviously mature, of course) 14yo who received advice from the interwebz.

Do you have a FOID card ? If not I suggest you get one . I would not gift anyone a firearm if they did not have their own FOID card regardless of their age .
