What Is a Gift Tax?
The gift tax is a federal tax applied to an individual giving anything of value to another person. For something to be considered a gift, the receiving party cannot pay the giver full value for the gift, though they may pay an amount less than its full value.
The gift donor must report the gift on their tax return and pay the gift tax. Normally, the recipient doesn’t have to report the gift. Under special circumstances, the recipient may pay the gift tax.

What Is a Unified Tax Credit?
A unified tax credit is a certain amount of assets that each person is allowed to gift to other parties without having to pay gift, estate, or generation-skipping transfer taxes. The credit is afforded to every man, woman, and child in America by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Large Gifts or Bequests from Foreign Persons
If you are a U.S. person (other than an organization described in section 501(c) and exempt from tax under section 501(a)) who received large gifts or bequests from a foreign person, you may need to complete Part IV of Form 3520, Annual Return to Report Transactions with Foreign Trusts and Receipt of Certain Foreign Gifts, and file the form by the 15th day of the fourth month following the end of your income tax year (generally, April 15th for individuals), subject to any extension of time to file that may apply. If you file Form 3520 late, or if the information provided is incomplete or incorrect, the IRS may determine the income tax consequences of the receipt of such foreign gift or bequest and you may be subject to penalties if you do not have reasonable cause. For more information, see the instructions to Form 3520.

As the holiday season approaches, many of us are starting to think about gift-giving. While it’s always fun to give and receive gifts, it’s important to understand the tax implications of doing so, especially if the gift is a large one. In the United States, gift tax is a complex and often misunderstood area of tax law. Here’s what you need to know.
What is the gift tax?
The gift tax is a tax imposed by the IRS on certain types of gifts. It’s designed to prevent people from avoiding the estate tax by giving away their assets during their lifetime. The gift tax applies to gifts of property, money, or assets that exceed a certain dollar amount.
How much can you gift tax-free?
The good news is that there is a certain amount you can gift each year without incurring gift tax. In 2021, this amount is $15,000 per person. This means that you can give up to $15,000 to anyone without having to report the gift to the IRS or pay any gift tax. If you’re married, you and your spouse can each give up to $15,000 per person, for a total of $30,000 per person per year.
What if you gift more than the annual exclusion amount?
If you gift more than the annual exclusion amount to someone in a year, you will need to file a gift tax return. The gift tax return reports the gift and calculates any gift tax that is owed. However, you may not have to pay gift tax right away. This is because the gift tax is tied to the estate tax, and you can use your lifetime estate tax exemption to offset any gift tax owed. In 2021, the lifetime estate tax exemption is $11.7 million per person.
What gifts are not subject to gift tax?
There are some gifts that are exempt from gift tax, even if they exceed the annual exclusion amount. For example, payments made directly to a medical or educational institution on behalf of another person are not subject to gift tax. Additionally, gifts to your spouse are not subject to gift tax, although there are limitations if your spouse is not a U.S. citizen.
What should you do if you’re concerned about the gift tax?
If you’re planning on making a large gift or are concerned about the gift tax, it’s a good idea to consult with a tax professional. They can help you navigate the complex tax rules and make sure that you’re taking advantage of all available exemptions and deductions.
In conclusion, understanding the gift tax is an important part of estate planning and gift giving. While the rules can be complex, it’s worth taking the time to understand them to make sure that you’re not inadvertently creating a tax liability. By staying within the annual exclusion amount or using the lifetime estate tax exemption, you can give generously to your loved ones without worrying about gift tax.
Thanks for watching everyone! To learn more about taxes at death for wealthy people, check out my video on the Step-Up in Basis for investments: https://youtu.be/4VCzjXLkbSU
Any years we exceed annual yearly gift tax exempt amount, we just only need to fill IRS Form 709, do not need to do anything else to let IRS know we would like it to be deduced from life time exclusion amount and do not worry about paying gift tax as long as we did not exceed life time estate exclusion amount which I guess is $12.92 million in 2023.
Is my understanding correct?
If I add my best friend in my second hand car title along with my name, as joint tenants with right of survivorship, is this considered a gift? If so If fair market value of car is 17000$, then 17000$ is gift amount? Or 17000$/2 is gift amount?
Very nice explanation. Very helpful. Thank you.
Is the recipient limited to the annual exclusion limit of 17k? Or can they receive that amount from multiple people within a year without reporting it?
If the recipient receives the annual exclusion limit of 17k from internationally to the US, does the recipient have to report it to the irs?
Thanks for the info, taxation is theft abolish the IRS!
2:21 – in this example, Can the donor (mom & dad) deduct their taxable income by $60000 to avoid federal taxes?
Thanks again for another great video Jake. You always explain these topics very clearly.
Thanks for the video. But I would like to mention a following situation: Suppose the IRS sees a discrepancy in the amount of income I declare for taxes and an amount that was deposited in my bank account as a gift. How does the receiver prove to the IRS that the undeclared money was a gift from a family member? Could you run the risk of being audited? If one ran into a problem, it's very difficult to contact the IRS to get this solved in the first place. I might run into this, that's why I mention it. Any help would be appreciated. Derek.
Does this work If a non US national gifts a friend over 15k? Or will that fall under a different thing?
It would be interting if you could do a video on 401K withdrawals. My son and his wife want to do this to buy a house. What are the tax issues?
Will buying somebody a ticket to orbital or lunar spaceflight incur a gift tax?
on part 4 – taxable gift reconciliation, line 2… would you put 15000 for the annual exclusion? (premise: mom already gave 15k cash earlier in year, but at end of year gave additional 50k cash) so part 4 line 1 would be 50k, then line 2 would be 15k again? or should it be zero.. b/c line 3 would be total amt of gifts of 50k? TIA
Excellent video! Just one question: how many of these gift may a recipient receive in 1 year?
Example- could 4 family members each gift one individual person 15k in one year for a total of 60k?
Great, well explained tax matter. Thank you for this great info
Hello Jake, I really wonder your depth of knowledge in various financial matters. Awesome video. Thank you again – I am watching most of your videos and trying to learn/understand based on my capability.
But if the parent only give 14k do she still need to file 709? Thanks
Wow, I had alot of misconceptions.
