GST tax sucks, but I believe there is a lifetime exemption for that as well. Thought it was over a million. Could be wrong. That type of gift would lower both the GST exemption as well as the lifetime. They are not two separate exemptions, just two different limits

quote:

GST for short. Transfers from grandparents to grandchildren have their own complications.


So, if parents gift directly to their children, this is avoided?

So, parents can gift up to $5,250,000 (one time) to children with no tax burden on the recipient. Recipient reports gift on 709?*

Uncle can go back on Estate for Long Term Care costs if transfer is less than 3? or 5? years prior.

TIA

LTC reach back is 5 years
Estate tax reach back is 3 years

These are as I know them, but you may want to verify with poodlebrain or another CPA. Good luck.
