Gift Tax Explained - Do You Pay Taxes On Gifted Money?

In this video, I explain what gift tax is all about. Do you need to pay taxes when you receive a gift? Do you need to pay taxes with giving a gift? Those are both important questions I answer in this video. Also, how does estate tax work? That's related too!

    Please elaborate. If you're receiving a gift from anyone, you don't pay taxes on it. If you give a large gift to anyone, you have to consider gift/estate tax.

    So help out if you can. My wife and i are planning ahead. If I die and my wife receives my life insurance and wants to give each of my 3 kids $30k each is she going to pay taxes?? Or if she fills out the 709 she can avoid those taxes? If so when does she fill it out at the time of the gift or when filling taxes?

    And any years we exceed annual yearly gift tax exempt amount, we just only need to fill IRS Form 709, do not need to do anything else to let IRS know we would like it to be deduced from life time exclusion amount and do not worry about paying gift tax as long as we did not exceed life time estate exclusion amount which I guess is $12.92 million in 2023. Is my understanding correct?

    So unless someone gives away more than 12 million dollars n their life there’s no tax. that be 24 million for a couple. They only requirement is filing a 709 form which the irs uses in tracking your total. Question: How long has the gift tax been this way, linked to the estate? Was it different a few years ago where any gift over 14k or so was taxed?

    My brother recently passed February 2023. He was hurt at work in 2012 and awarded a large insurance payment. As we wait for courts to free up the large portion of estate, my sister and I have bills our parents no longer have, our parents decided to help my sister and I by giving us the proceeds from the sale of the house which was $1m. $500k was split between my father and my sisters mother as they had guardianship. Her mother will give her $500k - my father will give me $500k ...This is inheritance money so our parents do not need to pay taxes, however my father mentioned we may have to - which brings me to this video... What is your suggestion on how to pay least amount of taxes? I was told parents can give loans under $10k multiple times (possibly unlimited amount of loans under $10k) without having to notify IRS nor show if the loan was repaid... Q1: would this be the best way? Each parent loan us $9,500... or $7500 every week up to the 500k? or should it be separated further into 2 or every 3 weeks? Maybe start off with giving first $100k gift and fill out form 709 as you said in your video, then move to $9k payments? Q2: My brothers estate was worth $15m - My father and his mother are divorced so she gets $7.5m and my father $7.5m ...if I followed what you said in this video... with each parent estate being under that 12m you mentioned... both fall under that lifetime estate exclusion? when passed down to us, we would not have to pay taxes? My goal is to invest every penny after I pay off $2k in outstanding bills, and buy a used truck. I want to live off the dividend payments from investments. any help on this would be greatly appreciated

    Question: Say for example: I may make 100k a year... I generally pay Income Tax on $88,500 due to a standard deduction. I'm liable to pay the taxes for $88,500. If I gift $6,300 to pay my nephews car bill for the year, I don't pay gift tax, but am I still paying taxes on the $88,500 after my standard deduction? Here's the math in my head... $6,300 (gift) / 7 = $900 $900 X 10 = $9000 (income) $9,000 X .30 = $2,700 Taxes based on Income Tax before I give the gift (I always assume 30% in total). Is this correct? Basically, do I need to pay taxes on the income before I give the gift? Or when I give the gift it almost becomes tax deductible?

    My wife recently cashed in her 401(k), with 20% in taxes automatically being deducted. After we paid off all of our debts, we transferred the remaining $40,000 into my savings account. My wife and I share finances, and we file “married filing joint“ every year on our tax return. The $40,000 is technically both of ours, but the savings account is only in my name… My wife already paid taxes on the remaining $40,000, but will it look suspicious if that money is now in my savings account when it comes time to file taxes? I understand I will have to pay taxes on any interest that money earns in my account, but will we have to pay taxes on the $40,000 again?
