You can give up to $15,000 to anyone, ever year (in 2012), without incurring any gift tax liability. Gifts to your spouse are completely tax-free.
as of 2012 it is $15,000 per year.
No, your gift must simply be less than the annual tax-free amount, which is $15,000 per year in 2012.
The exclusion includes ANYONE other than your spouse, meaning you can give anyone up to $15,000 each year (in 2012) without having to pay any gift taxes.
The exclusion for gift tax will remain at $14,000 per person for 2015 unless it is changed between now and early next year. This means that a person may give $14,000 to any other person they want to without incurring any gift taxes. If they are married their spouse can also give $14,000 to that person. If the recipient is married then the person and his spouse can also give the spouse $14,000 from each on of the gift givers. There is also a lifetime limit on gift giving without incurring gift taxes. The lifetime limit is $ 5,430,000. These limits are for individual gifts and don't have anything to do with donations to IRS Certified 501(3)(b) Non-Profit Organizations.

Certainly not! You would be receiving a gift and would owe absolutely no tax on it. The "gift tax" is paid by the person MAKING the gift, if it exceeds their annual exclusion. Others have said: Depending on amounts and such...yes, that would easily be the result in most cases. However, it is a very easy thing to plan around (basically by her (and spouse if possible) structuring the gift to you, (and spouse if you possible), spanning years) allows a great amount to be gifted tax free each year. Have her get some pro advice.

Whatever you do, don't give them a fruitcake. Most in inlaws like to get a family photo of you and your spouse and children if you have any. A gift certificate to a nice restaurant is always nice. Depending on how much you can afford to spend, a Christmas ornament with a picture in it and the date is the beginning of a nice tradition each year. Merry Christmas!

If you give more than $12,000 in money or property to any one person (other than your spouse) in any one calendar year, you will be required to file a federal gift tax return and you will use up part of your "applicable exclusions" from federal gift and estate taxation.
