As of the 2012 tax year, the exclusion amount is $13,000 for each person you make a gift to.If you're married, you can double that: you and your spouse are each entitled to give away $13,000 per person.f your generosity qualifies as a gift with the IRS, you'll have to pay taxes twice on the amount that exceeds the exclusion: once in income tax, then again for the federal gift tax. The 2012 federal gift tax rate is 35 percent.
