You can gift up to $13.61 million over your lifetime without paying a gift tax on it (as of 2024).

What is the 5 year gift rule?

However, a special rule allows you to make a lump-sum contribution in a single year and treat it as though it was made over five years for gift tax purposes. For example, you can contribute $90,000 (5 years x $18,000) in 2024 to jump-start a 529 college savings account for your child.
