[2:06] – Monthly tax tip from CPA On Fire, Josh Bauerle – Is a Monetary Gift Taxable?
- Good news is, if you are the receiver, you will not pay taxes, but the giver will pay tax for the monetary gift.
- If the gift is over $15,000 to a single person, the person giving the gift will have to fill out a gift tax return and potentially pay taxes on it.
- How to avoid paying taxes on a monetary gift?
- The $15,000 limit is per person.
- You can take five years worth of gift exclusion for a single person all at once.
- You can use the lifetime gift tax exemption of $11.58 million to avoid paying any gift tax.
