There are two limits for tax-free gifts: an annual ceiling of $13,000 to any one person, and a separate $5 million lifetime limit. Compromise legislation passed in 2010 set the tax exemption limits and indexed them for inflation, but the legislation is due to expire at the end of 2012, so the limits could change.

A married couple can double this amount to $26,000.In 2013, this annual exclusion amount will increase to $14,000 ($28,000 for couples).or amounts given in excess of the annual exclusion amount, every individual has a lifetime exclusion amount, against which the excess gifts are credited. For 2012, the lifetime exclusion amount is $5,120,000.
