OVERVIEW

If you make large enough gifts to relatives or friends, you might owe the federal gift tax. Here are the basics on how the gift tax works. For information on the third coronavirus relief package, please visit our “American Rescue Plan: What Does it Mean for You and a Third Stimulus Check” blog post. The gift tax only kicks in after lifetime gifts exceed $12.06 million in 2022 The first thing to know about the federal gift tax is that gift givers—not gift recipients—have to pay it. Thankfully, you won’t owe the tax until you’ve given away more than $12.06 million in cash or other assets during your lifetime.

The lifetime exclusion was raised to $12.06 million in 2022.

If you’re married, your spouse is entitled to a separate $12.06 million in 2022. So, actually owing the gift tax is not a concern for most folks. But you may still have to file gift tax returns even though you don’t owe any tax. The annual gift tax exclusion provides additional shelter The annual federal gift tax exclusion allows you to give away up to $16,000 each in 2022 to as many people as you wish without those gifts counting against your $12.06 million lifetime exemption. (After 2022, the $16,000 exclusion may be increased for inflation.) Say you give two favored relatives $21,000 each in 2022 and give another relative $10,000. The $21,000 gifts are called taxable gifts because they exceed the $16,000 annual exclusion. But you won’t actually owe any gift tax unless you’ve exhausted your lifetime exemption amount. Assuming you haven’t, the two taxable gifts simply reduce your lifetime exemption by $5,000 for each gift or $10,000 total for the two gifts. ($21,000 - $16,000) x 2 = $10,000. The other gift of $10,000 is ignored because it’s below the $16,000 annual exclusion for 2022. If you give three individuals $16,000 each in 2022, these gifts are ignored because no single gift exceeds the annual exclusion. Gift taxes and estate taxes are connected You have a $12.06 million federal estate tax exemption for 2022. You can leave up to that amount to relatives or friends free of any federal estate tax. If you’re married, your spouse is entitled to a separate $12.06 million exemption. Gifts made during your lifetime will reduce your taxable estate by moving assets out of your ownership and therefore out of your estate. However, gifts in excess of the annual exclusion also reduce your estate tax exemption. In the earlier examples, the two $21,000 taxable gifts made in 2022 would reduce your estate tax exemption by $10,000 to $12,050,000 ($12,060,000- $10,000). The separate $10,000 gift in 2022 and the three $16,000 gifts in 2022 would not reduce your estate tax exemption. Bottom line: Making annual gifts up to the exclusion ($16,000 in 2022) is a good way to reduce your taxable estate without any negative side effects.

Special rule for 529 plan contributions Contributions to a 529 college savings plan are gifts to the future student. However, a special rule allows you to make a lump-sum contribution in a single year and treat it as though it was made over five years for gift tax purposes. For example, you can contribute $80,000 in 2022 to jump-start a 529 college savings account for your child. If you’re married, your spouse can do the same. You can spread the gift over 2022-2025 without incurring any gift tax and without reducing your $12.06 million lifetime gift tax exemption or your $12.06 million estate tax exemption. Your spouse can spread their $80,000 gift over five years as well. The only caveat: You can’t make any additional gifts to the same recipient during those years without using part of your $12.06 million exemption. Some gifts are tax-exempt The following types of gifts are some examples of gifts that are exempt from the federal gift tax. You can make unlimited gifts in these categories without any gift tax or estate tax consequences and without having to file gift tax returns: Gifts to IRS-approved charities

Gifts to your spouse (assuming they are a U.S. citizen)

Gifts covering another person’s medical expenses, as long as you make the payments directly to medical service providers Gifts covering another person’s tuition expenses, as long as you make payments directly to the educational institution. (Payments for room and board, books, and supplies don’t qualify for this exception, but you can cover those costs by making a direct gift to the student under the annual exclusion.) You may need to file a gift tax return If you make a taxable gift (one in excess of the annual exclusion), you are required to file Form 709: U.S. Gift (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return. The return is required even if you don’t actually owe any gift tax because of the $12.06 million lifetime exemption. The return is due by the tax filing deadline, typically April 18, 2023, of the year after you make the gift—the same deadline as Form 1040.

If you extend your Form 1040 tax return filing to October 15, the extended due date also applies to your gift tax return. If you’re married, you can’t file a joint gift tax return. Each spouse must file a separate return if they make any taxable gifts. You can, however, choose to “split” gifts with your spouse. Making a split gift allows you to take advantage of your annual gift tax exclusion plus your spouse’s exclusion for a gift that is made entirely by you. For example, say you gave $32,000 to your child in 2022. By treating it as a split gift, you can completely shelter the gift with your $16,000 exclusion plus your spouse’s $16,000 exclusion. That way no gift tax is due. The gift doesn't reduce the $12.06 million lifetime gift tax exemption in effect for 2022 or the estate tax exemption for you or your spouse. If you choose to make a split gift, you need to file Form 709, and your spouse must consent to the arrangement.
