If you're thinking about your legacy, gifting stocks can be a valuable tool, as opposed to liquidating and paying capital gains taxes. The IRS allows you to gift up to $15,000 per year, per person including stock. This $15,000 limit isn't bound by familial or marital ties.
Buying stock for family If you want to make a new investment for a family member, the process is a bit simpler. You'll just need to send funds to the gift recipient, who can then use the funds to buy an investment through their brokerage account. The recipient will need their own brokerage account.
As previously discussed, if you give existing stock to someone else, your cost basis will transfer to them. Since you didn't sell the investment, you won't owe any capital gains taxes and the recipient won't pay taxes until they sell the shares. For the gifter, gifting shares instead of cash can make financial sense.
You can give cash gifts to an individual family member of up to $15,000 every year without incurring gift taxes, up to a maximum of $11.7 million for 2021. You can also leave the business to family members in your will or a succession plan.
If you give over that amount to any individual, however, you must report the gift on your tax return, but you don't have to pay taxes until you give away more than the current lifetime limit of $11.4 millionfor the amount above and beyond $15,000 per person per year.
Stocks can be given to a recipient as a gift whereby the recipient benefits from any gains in the stock's price. Giving the gift of a stock can also provide benefits for the giver, particularly if the stock has appreciated in value since the giver can avoid paying taxes on those earnings or gains.
Tax Consequences of Gifting StockAs long as the gift is within the owner's annual gifting limit, there are no tax implications. If the gift puts them above their annual limit, they will need to file an estate and gift tax return, but there are still no tax consequences.
The IRS allows you to give away $15,000 tax free per year, per person for 2021, increasing to $16,000 in 2022. The same holds true for stocks, if you're gifting more that $15,000 worth to one person, as the donor, you may be subject to a gift tax.
