Retirement tax questions

 

 Thank you for joining us, Dabug Taxes!

You asked, how much can you gift to someone.

 

You can give up to the annual exclusion amount of up to $18,000 in 2024, per person, and to as many people without facing any gift taxes or having to file a gift tax return.
If you give more than $18,000, in 2024 to someone, you do not automatically have to pay a gift tax on the overage. You can give a total of up to $12.92 million in overages throughout your lifetime before you start owing the gift tax. This amount increases to $13.61 million for 2024. However, this annual lifetime limit is set to drop back to the pre-2018 limits, indexed for inflation. 

In addition, you should be aware that if you are married, each spouse can give $18,000 per person for a total of $36,000.
