If I gift money to my grandchildren, is there a tax deduction I can take?
Unlike deductions for charitable contributions to IRS-recognized organizations, there is no income tax deduction for gifts you make to individuals. What’s more, if gifts of cash exceed the annual gift tax exclusion—$15,000 in 2021; $16,000 in 2022—you must file Form 709, but in most cases no gift tax will be owed because of the lifetime exclusion.

Installment sale
A sale of property that allows for tax deferment if at least one payment is received after the end of the tax year in which the sale occurs. The installment method does not apply to year-end sales of publicly traded securities. Dealers may not use the installment method. Investors with very large installment balances could face a special tax.
