Gift Tax Basis

You could be subject to a gift tax if you give a non-spouse a gift valued in excess of the annual exclusion amount.

For 2016 the annual federal gift tax exclusion amount for gifts to a non-spouse is still $14,000 per person, per year. If you are married, you and your spouse may give up to $28,000 per person, per year, free from federal gift tax. Although there are no immediate tax concerns for the recipient of a gift tax because federal gift tax is imposed upon the donor, the recipient could be liable for capital gains tax in the cash to computerfuture.

Highly appreciated gifts such as real estate or stocks will render the recipient liable for capital gains tax when he or she decides to sell the gift at a later date.

The general rule is that the recipient’s basis in the gifted property is the same as the basis of the donor. For example, if you were given stock that the donor had purchased for $10 per share and you later sold it for $100 per share, you would pay tax on a gain of $90 per share.
