South Dakota Estate Planning - What Gifts Are Not Taxable?

There is no limit to the amount you can give to your spouse, if you are both U.S. citizens. However, if you are a U.S. citizen but your spouse is not, you can give up to $152,000 to your spouse in 2019. Other common non-taxable gifts are:

  • Tuition costs you pay for another person have no limit, as long as you pay the institution directly.
  • Healthcare costs you pay for another person have no limit, as long as you pay the hospital or medical professional directly.
  • Charitable contributions are also limitless, as long as the charity qualifies.
