I know that one can gift up to $12,000 to anyone without the recipient paying taxes.
I don’t think that such a gift exempts the giver from paying taxes on the income in the first place.
I would like clarification, please.

I think the deduction is because they are putting the $24,000 into a college fund, not giving the money directly to the girls.
But I might be wrong.
