In the United States, the recipient of a gift does not pay taxes on the gift itself, but the giver may be subject to gift tax if the amount exceeds the annual exclusion limit, which is $17,000 per recipient for 2023. For gifts over this limit, the giver may need to file a gift tax return, and the amount over the exclusion will count against their lifetime exemption, which is $12.92 million as of 2023. Therefore, while the recipient typically doesn't owe taxes, the giver could face tax implications depending on their total gifts and lifetime exemption status.
