You don't have to worry about your gift. While you have to file a Gift Tax Return (Form 709) for a gift over $15,000, you won't pay a gift tax. You will be reporting that you made a gift over the annual exclusion ($15,000); but you won't pay the tax, because the exemption amount for 2018 is $11.180 million lifetime exclusion... Please read here for more details, the article has some great examples.
