In 2021, parents can each take advantage of their annual gift tax exclusion of $15,000 per year, per child. In a family of two parents and two children, this means the parents could together give each child $30,000 for a total of $60,000 in 2021 without filing a gift tax return.
Can my parents give me $100 000?
Under current law, the parent has a lifetime limit of gifts equal to $11,700,000. The federal estate tax laws provide that a person can give up to that amount during their lifetime or die with an estate worth up to $11,700,000 and not pay any estate taxes.
