Step 3 - Prepare the sugar (or other sweetener) solution. Mangoes must be packed in a solution of water and sugar or fruit juice. It's up to you which to use. Sugar is added to improve flavor, help stabilize color, and retain the shape of the fruit.
In 2015, you can make an unlimited number of $14,000 gifts of cash or other property, completely tax-free. To ensure these tax savings, you need to remember only that no individual recipient can receive more than $14,000 in a calendar year.
For an update, see my Oct. 30, 2014 post, âIRS Raises Limit On Tax-Free Lifetime Gifts For 2015.â. The yearly limit on how much we can each give another person without having to worry about gift tax in 2013 is $14,000. This limit, known as the annual exclusion, will not be increased for inflation in 2014. Spouses can combine their annual exclusions to double the size of the gift.
