Capital gains tax and gifting
Since you didn't sell the investment, you won't owe any capital gains taxes — and the recipient won't pay taxes until they sell the shares. For the gifter, gifting shares instead of cash can make financial sense.
Lifetime Gifting Limits
Each individual has a $11.7 million lifetime exemption ($23.4M combined for married couples) before anyone would owe federal tax on a gift or inheritance. In other words, you could gift your son or daughter $10 million dollars today, and no one would owe any federal gift tax on that amount.
The primary way the IRS becomes aware of gifts is when you report them on form 709. You are required to report gifts to an individual over $15,000 on this form. This is how the IRS will generally become aware of a gift. However, form 709 is not the only way the IRS will know about a gift.

Giving appreciated stocks and mutual funds (owned for more than one year) immediately adds a tax advantage over making the same gift in cash. The income-tax benefit is identical to that of cash: the donor can deduct the fair market value of the gift.
“If the shares are sold at a price above the fair market value on the date of the gift, but below the donor's original cost basis, there is no gain or loss recognized on the sale by the recipient of the shares,” Gatzemeier says.
If you gift cash, generally there are no income tax consequences for the recipient, though there could be gift and estate tax implications to the donor. But if you give appreciated securities, the capital gains taxes can be significant. Also, note that the tax treatment varies widely depending on the recipient.
What is the difference between gifted stock and inherited stock?
Inherited stock, unlike gifted securities, is not valued at its original cost basis—a term used by tax accountants to describe the original value of an asset. When an individual inherits a stock, its cost basis is stepped up to the value of the security, at the date of the death.
