Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No. you won’t owe the tax until you’ve given away more than $12.06 million in cash or other assets during your lifetime.

  • The lifetime exclusion was raised to $12.06 million in 2022.
  • If you’re married, your spouse is entitled to a separate $12.06 million in 2022.

As ErnieS0 mentioned, since the amount is above the annual $16000 exclusion for 2022, you may still have to file gift tax return form 709 even though you don’t owe any tax. (After 2022, the $16,000 exclusion may be increased for inflation.)
