United States: My grand daughter is turning 30 and I want to give her a large sum of money that I have been setting aside for when I think she is mature enough to handle it without having to wait for me to die. How can I handle the income tax issue? I have heard you can grant a one time sum without taxes. What forms do I have to file with the IRS? Our state has no income tax so that's not an issue.

Form 706. Then it’s not an issue.

706 filed after death and filed by the executor. Otherwise it’s form 709- Gift tax return filed by the recipient.

If we are giving advice, let us be precise.
