How do I report a monetary gift that was under $10K to an individual ?

[tagteam · Accepted solution]

A gift of $10,000 to an individual does not have to be reported since it is under the annual exclusion (for 2020) of $15,000.

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:
