Does gift between husband and wife need reporting?

We are filling our tax jointly, if we transfer funds in between our bank accounts, do we need to report them during tax filing? Is there a maximum amount allowed before we need to report?

Gifts from one spouse to the other spouse are not reported on a tax return.

No, with limited exceptions.

Hello:

Spouses can transfer an unlimited amount of money to one another and between accounts. No reporting needed. However; US banks are required to report transactions over $10,000 to the IRS just for your information.
