Education
@Ognak1 We have no source reference for that article you are citing so we do not know how old it is or where you got it, but you are misinterpreting what it says about gifts for education. There is no sort of income tax deduction you can get for giving your daughter a "gift" for her tuition or for her living expenses at school.
For further information on "gift tax":

Money that you receive as a gift is not taxable income to you, and you do not need to report it on your income tax return. Money that you gave as a gift to someone else is not deductible for your taxes.
Turbo Tax does not support the gift tax form 709, but here is a link:
