By Jessica Burns

The gifts count as part of the $15,000 you’re allowed to give them annually. When you make the gift of a Roth IRA contribution, sit down with your child and talk about how to invest the money to make it grow for the future, or gift it alongside a personal finance book.

What happens if I give my Daughter$ 210, 000?

So let’s say that in 2018 you gift $210,000 to your daughter. This gift is $185,000 over the annual gift exclusion. That means you will need to report it to the IRS. However, you won’t immediately have to pay tax on that gift. Instead, the IRS deducts that $185,000 from your lifetime gift tax exemption.

Is there an annual exclusion for gifts to children?

The annual exclusion applies to gifts to each donee. In other words, if you give each of your children $11,000 in 2002-2005, $12,000 in 2006-2008, $13,000 in 2009-2012 and $14,000 on or after January 1, 2013, the annual exclusion applies to each gift. The annual exclusion for 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 is $14,000.
