Question

Nathan and Diana are married and have three married children and seven minor grandchildren. For tax year 2020, what is the maximum amount they can give to the family (including the sons- and daughters-in-law) without using any of their unified transfer tax credit

Answer 1

Answer:

Maximum amount that can be given to family (including the sons- and daughters-in-law) without using unified transfer tax credit is $390,000.

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Nathan and Diana are married and they have 3 married children, meaning Nathan and Diana also have 3 daughters/sons in law married to their children. In addition, they have 7 minor grand children.

Number of donees will be ⇒ 3 + 3 + 7 = 13

Now, we know that; The annual gift tax exclusion for 2019-2020 is $15,000 per donee or individual for every tax payer while that of married couple is $30,000.

Meaning Nathan and Diana can give $30,000as a gift to each of their family members without using any of their unified transfer tax credit.

Hence,

Maximum amount that can be given to family (including the sons- and daughters-in-law) without using unified transfer tax credit will be;

⇒ 13 × $30,000

= $390,000.
