G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment.
Gifting friends and/or family—$18,000 in 2024 is the annual exclusion. Anything over that, you need to file a gift tax return. But remember, lifetime gifting is $13 million, so you have a little wiggle room to understand how much to give. You do not have to give it to a family member; you can give it to someone on the street—it doesn’t make a difference. The person giving the money is responsible for any taxes that could be due, while the person receiving the money will not pay taxes. Important to understand.
If you need help understanding how to file a gift tax return or any of that, call 615-367-0819.
You can catch the Dr. Friday Call-In Show live every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. right here on 99.7 WTN.
