Gift Tax Fundamentals
The federal government imposes a substantial tax on gifts of money or property above certain levels. Without such a tax someone with a sizable estate could give away a large portion of their property before death and escape death taxes altogether.

A gift program can substantially reduce overall transfer taxes; however, it requires good planning and a commitment to proceed with the gifts.
