If you exceed the $16,000 annual limit in a single year, you just need to file a gift tax form, but you will owe no taxes until you exceed the lifetime $12.06 million amount. Note that the $12.06 million lifetime limit is scheduled to decrease to $6 million in 2026.
I'm screwed if I make till 2026. Calling the kids tonight giving them the bad news.
