What is the name of your state?MASSACHUSETTS / PENNSYLVANIA
I just read the following on the "freeadvice" website:
"Taxable gifts generate a Gift Tax. But Gift Tax is not due until you give away over $1,000,000 in your lifetime."
Can someone please confirm that I can give a relative a gift of over $11K and not have ANY tax consequences whatsoever?? (This is assuming that I do not give away over a million dollars in my lifetime, which I won't). Also, why would this loophole exist? It doesn't seem to make much sense.
Thank you.
