The thyroid gland produces hormones that are essential for normal body metabolism. Blood testing is now commonly available to determine the adequacy of the levels of thyroid hormones. These blood tests can define whether the thyroid gland's hormone production is normal, overactive, or underactive.
If you give people a lot of money, you might have to pay a federal gift tax. But the IRS also allows you to give up to $14,000 in 2014 to any number of people without facing any gift taxes, and without the recipient owing any income tax on the gifts.ut most gifts are not subject to the gift tax. For instance, you can give up to the annual exclusion amount ($14,000 in 2014) to any number of people every year, without facing any gift taxes. Recipients generally never owe income tax on the gifts.
1 The annual gift tax exclusion amount is $14,000 for 2015. 2  In other words, you can give $14,000 or $14,000 worth of property to as many people as you want in a year's time, without needing to file a gift tax return in order to report the gift to the IRS. Any taxable money you gift an heir during your lifetime will count toward the estate that you leave them upon your death. 2  For example, if you give your child $200,000 each year for ten years for a total of ten years, and upon death leave them 5 million, your total gift will have a value of $7 million for tax purposes.
