Best Answer

An individual may give up to $12,000 per year per donee without gift tax consequences. A married couple may double that amount through "gift-splitting". It makes no difference whether the gifts are placed in a 529 plan or given directly to the donee. However, some states have tax deductions for contributions to their 529 plans. It might be to the benefit of the donee, or the donee's parents, to have the gift go to them first, then they can make their own tax-deductible contribution. Of course, if the state permits the donor to take the deduction for the contribution, the donor could put the funds directly into the 529 plan. There are no tax consequences to the donee of a gift. I recommend this proposal be discussed with a CPA before you act on it.
