The annual exclusion is the maximum value of gifts you can give to each person. For example, during the 2016 tax year, the law allows you to make an unlimited number of tax-free gifts as long as no one receives more than $14,000. Therefore, you can make hundreds of $14,000 gifts without paying a dollar in gift tax as long as each recipient is a different person.
We are not sure how much money we can give them without having to pay tax fees. In 2013 the IRS gift tax exclusion is $14,000 per donor per recipient. So effectively, married couples can â together â provide cash gifts of up to $28,000 per recipient without triggering a gift tax.So in your case, you and your spouse can give a combined gift of up to $56,000 this year to your son and future daughter-in-law ($28,000 to each).ou have to state by how much you gifted beyond the exemption and subtract that amount from your lifetime exemption of $5.25 million. This doesnât mean youâll owe any money right now. If in your lifetime you give away more than $5.25 million youâll be subject to a federal gift tax, currently 40%.
