In 2015, a taxpayer can give up to $14,000 per person per year without being taxed on the gift. For example, this year you could give Friend A $14,000, Friend B $14,000, and your sister $14,000 and not be taxed on your gifts.lso, another way for parents to avoid the gift tax is to remember that each parent is entitled to their own individual $14,000 exclusion. This means that your mother and father could each give you $14,000 this year â for a total of $28,000 â without being taxed on that gift.
If an adult child gives money to a parent to be used for living expenses, does the maximum tax-free gift rule apply? The IRS allows for monetary gifts of between $1.00 and $14,000.00 to be given to anyone without taxation. This $14,000 maximum gift can be given to anyone, including parents, children or those who you aren't related at all, and no tax liability will be incurred. However, the reason for the gifting has no relevance to the IRS, so long as the gift is given individually and not exceeding the maximum limit for that year. If your gift exceeds that maximum amount, tax may be assessed on it, even if the money is to your elderly parents for living expenses.
