If a gift is made to a couple, what is the total maximum amount they can give each year without tax implications?

$24,000
$26,000
$28,000
$30,000

The correct answer is: $26,000

The correct amount that a couple can give each year without incurring tax implications is based on the annual gift tax exclusion. For 2023, this exclusion is set at $17,000 per individual. Since the question refers to a couple, they can combine their exclusions. This means each individual can gift $17,000, leading to a total of $34,000 for the couple when considering gifts to one recipient. However, if the question is framed in the context of each spouse gifting separately, then the annual exclusion amount they can jointly give without tax implications remains $34,000 in total. The value stated in the choices appears to reflect a different year or misunderstanding of the relevant tax law adjustments perhaps confused with previous or future figures. Therefore, the correct annual exclusion for gifts made by a couple to individual recipients is $34,000 for the year 2023, encompassing the combined exclusions, not $26,000 or any other figure as suggested in the options. The misunderstanding may stem from not taking the combined gifting limits into account or not being updated on the latest exclusions for 2023.
