If I give my daughter $5,000 each year for my granddaughter’s college tuition, do I have to file any tax return?
A gift of a present interest (e.g., cash) to each recipient up to the annual exclusion amount ($15,000 in 2021) is not subject to gift taxes and does not require the filing of a gift tax return (Form 709). A gift of any dollar amount made directly to an educational institution for a child’s or grandchild’s tuition is not taxed. No gift tax return is required.
