CHARLOTTE – Can I write off a cash gift on my taxes?

The answer to that question is: YES. You can give a person a financial gift without the need for that person to report it. The maximum amount a person can give to “any number of people” as a gift is $16,000 in a year without the receivers claiming the money as taxable income. The person who receives the $16,000 gifts from numerous givers “DO NOT” have to claim the individual sent gifts as income!

As a person who is the giver of the $16.000 gift to an individual you cannot deduct the gift on your personal taxes unless the gift is given to a licensed Charity, but as a company you can deduct the gift from your Profit & Loss Statement for your business taxes.
