It is very rare for an ordinary household to owe money on gifts.
The gift tax has a somewhat complicated two-tier structure.
Each year you can give up to an annual amount (the "annual exclusion") without paying, or even reporting, anything on your taxes.
Then, over your lifetime, you have a significantly higher amount that you can give away in total without owing any taxes (the "lifetime exclusion").
In any given year, if you have given away your entire lifetime exclusion you owe gift taxes on any amount you give over the annual exclusion.
The result is that theIRS only taxesone-to-one gifts worth $18,000 in 2024.
But the lifetime exclusion must also be considered, and there are ways to gift couples more.
For example, say that you'd like to give $65,000 to your daughter and her husband.
In most, but not all cases, you will not owe any taxes.
In some cases, you'll have to file some extra paperwork with the IRS, despite not necessarily owing any money.
