The Minnesota Gift Tax was repealed on March 21, 2014. You are not required to file a Gift Tax return.Minnesota no longer enforces its own gift tax, but you may still owe one at the federal level if you exceed your lifetime gift and estate tax exemption. If you give people a lot of money or property, you might have to pay a federal gift tax. But most gifts are not subject to the gift tax. Are there tax consequences for giving down payment gifts? Generally, gift money received is not considered income, so it is not taxable for you. However, you'll need to properly document the gift. Any Minnesota taxable gifts made after June 30, 2013, and within three years of the decedent's death must be added to the Minnesota adjusted taxable estate. A party can give as much as they want.
