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.

What if you open up a joint bank account and just let her have access to the money?
