Which of the following gifts is exempt from gift tax per year per individual?

$13,000
$15,000
$20,000
$10,000

The correct answer is: $13,000

The correct amount exempt from gift tax per year per individual is $15,000. This amount reflects the annual exclusion from the federal gift tax, which allows individuals to give a certain amount to another person without incurring a gift tax or requiring the filing of a gift tax return. The $15,000 limit applies to each individual recipient, meaning that a donor can give up to $15,000 to as many individuals as they wish during a calendar year without affecting their lifetime gift tax exemption. This amount is adjusted periodically for inflation, and it is essential for individuals engaged in estate planning to be aware of this limit. The options of $13,000, $20,000, and $10,000 are not reflective of the current annual exclusion and may refer to outdated figures or thresholds that were valid in previous years. Understanding the correct annual exclusion amount is crucial for effective gift tax management and estate planning.
