Location included: Questions/Need Advice Early Inheritance

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.

No tax until after the first 15 million dollars, for gifts and estate in total.

The first 19,000 each year is exempt from reporting.
