For tax year
2006, the annual gift tax exemption has increased from $11,000 to
$12,000. Therefore, the first $12,000 of gifts to any person are NOT
included in the total amount of taxable gifts.
You can give
gifts to a spouse who is NOT a citizen of the United States up to
$120,000 (other than gifts of future interests in property) and exclude
them from the total amount of taxable gifts.
NOTE: If you are a U.S. person RECEIVING
aggregate foreign gifts exceeding $12,760, you must file an information
return with the IRS.
