There is no limit imposed by the IRS, but you must file a gift tax return if you give over the threshold amount. Even if you must file, no tax is due until the gifts total over a million dollars. If all the gifts add up to enough there is a tax. Also, the total gifts are added in calculating how much Estate tax is due upon death. $12,000 is the annual amount under which you can give.
