A couple can also give an additional gift of up to $14,000 to each son-in-law or daughter-in-law. The effective annual limit from one couple to another couple, therefore, is $56,000 ($14,000 X 4 = $56,000). gift of $14,000 or less in a calendar year (2015) doesnât even count. If a couple makes a gift from joint property, the IRS considers the gift to be given half from each. Mom and Dad can give $28,000 with no worries.
