Does the lifetime gifting rule apply to H-1b visa holders (living in the US) in the same way as it does to gifting US citizens?

    So the receiver pays no taxes and I would inform the IRS of my contribution, counting towards my $13.9M limit?

    1. While you are a resident for gift/estate tax purposes, then you may use the lifetime gift/estate tax exemption. The definition of gift/estate tax residency is a subjective test based on “domicile”, which differs from other definitions of residency. It is possible to an H-1B visa holder to be such a resident, but it depends on individual circumstances.
