You can give as much as you like ... as long as you pay the gift tax on any amount over $13,000.

If you gave more than that to any one person, you would have to pay a "gift tax" of 35% on the amount exceeding $13,000. (The $13,000 "resets" for each recipient, though, so if you have two sons, you can give each of them $13,000 before you'd be required to pay the tax). Also, the $13,000 is per person making the gift as well, so you can give $13,000 to your son and your spouse, assuming you have one, can also give $13,000 to your son.)

You should really see a tax professional about this, because there's a lifetime credit that can be applied (so you may not wind up paying the tax after all) and it can get fairly confusing in terms of what you're required to report, what forms you need to file, and how to do all the calculations.
