父母给孩子的钱不超过2千四百万美元都不用交税

Example 2

Anika and Rishaan wish to give their grandchild Jay $50,000 worth of stock in order to help fund his future education expenses. 

Combined, Anika and Rishaan have a yearly gift tax exemption of $32,000, as of 2022. This means only $18,000 of the $50,000 gift is subject to gift tax. 

However, Anika and Rishaan also have the lifetime exemption of $12,060,000 each ($24,120,000 total). 

So, the couple would need to file a gift tax return (IRS form 709) reporting the $50,000 gift. $18,000 of this gift would count against their $24.12 million lifetime gift tax exemption, but they wouldn’t owe any tax on the gift.
