A gift of equity may be taxable depending on how much it is. A gift of equity can be given without the recipient of it is worth 12,000.00 or less. However, if you are a couple, or there are two owners of the house giving you equity, you would be able to obtain 24,000.00 worth of equity without it being taxable.
