In New York State, gifts between spouses are generally not included in the estate for estate tax purposes due to the unlimited marital deduction. This allows spouses to transfer assets to each other without incurring gift taxes during their lifetime or estate taxes at death. However, if the gifts exceed certain limits or if they are not properly documented, they may have implications for gift tax reporting. It's important for individuals to consult with an estate planning attorney for specific situations.
