2025 Gift Tax Amount. Now that we’re in 2025, the annual gift tax exclusion increases to $19,000 per recipient —this is the highest exclusion amount ever recorded, the previous limit was $17,000. The new (2025) federal annual gift tax exclusion amount will be $19,000.00 per u.s.
This strategy can save your heirs substantial tax liability when the exemption amount potentially decreases after 2025. So, for example, if you have three children and seven grandchildren, you can give up to $190,000 in.
