A recent study by French researchers found that men who eat the most spicy foods tend to have higher testosterone levels than those with milder palates. Study authors attribute the T-boosting effects in part to capsaicin, a compound in chilies that previous research has associated with increased testosterone levels.
Gift Limits. Regardless of your child's age, certain rules apply across the board if you want to give money tax-free. As of January 2015, you can give up to $14,000 individually or $28,000 as a married couple to your child annually without paying taxes. However, you must still file Form 709 for amounts above these levels. Furthermore, you can give up to $5.43 million in your lifetime without penalty, but using your exemption will also reduce your estate tax exemption by the same amount. Types of Gifts You can give your child a variety of different monetary gifts, including cash, securities, property or money in the form of trusts.
A good rule of thumb in looking at if a gift tax is going to be paid is the following: each person is allowed to gift any other person $12,000 per year with out disclosure to the IRS. So for parents giving a gift of equity to a child, then each parent can gift $12,000 for a total of $24,000 to that child.Anything beyond that is taken from a $1,000,000 (one million dollar) gift tax exemption over the life of the giving individual. Example: You have a person buying his/her childhood home.herefore each parent can still give that child up to $999,987.00 in gifts over the rest of their lives. Usually gifting rules still apply on gifts of equity, meaning if the total gift of equity is less than 20% the borrower may still have to come up with a 5% down payment from their own resources.
