Gifts given or received are not reported on a tax return.
The giver of the gift which has a value of over $18,000 (2024) has to report the gift given on IRS form 709. This form is filed separately from your tax return and mailed to a separate address. You will not have any taxes owed on the gift given if the total of all gifts ever given is less than $13.61 million (2024).
TurboTax does not support IRS Form 709.

"Gift Tax" is somewhat of a misnomer. Even though a gift tax return may be required, very few people ever actually pay federal gift tax. The purpose of the gift tax return is usually only to document a reduction in the allowable estate tax exemption.
