Hello SuzyQ,
You can give up to $12,000 per person, and they don't even have to be relatives. A married couple can give up to $24,000 per person. I hear the amount may go up to $13,000 individual and $26,000 per couple in 2009. Does anyone know if this is true?

In 2009, the amount has gone up to $13,000. This is the total of gifts given to one person during the tax year.
