Best Answer

No.

It depends on where you are, and exactly how much you're giving. For most people in the US, the answer "No" is largely correct. If, however, you're giving away several thousand dollars, that's a different matter. The US does have a gift tax on gifts larger than (as of 2009) $13,000 per individual per year (that means you can give up to $13,000 total in a year without being subject to the gift tax, not that you can give several people $13,000 each).

As always with tax questions, you should consult an attorney specializing in tax law to make sure that what you're doing is legal (if you can afford to give away thirteen large, you can afford an attorney).

When is cash gifting not legal?

Cash gifting is not legal when the gifting is part of a pyramid scheme. Pyramid schemes typically encourage people to pay in money, perhaps to another individual, in order to become the next person to receive money, usually 5 or 10 times more than the original stake. The problem with a pyramid scheme is there is always going to be someone at the top receiving the most money and someone at the bottom putting money in, with promises being made, and receiving nothing in return.

* Don't flaunt the fact you have money or offer to pay for your friend everywhere you go.
