Can this money be called a gift on my taxes?
I have begun supporting my romantic partner financially during this past year. We are not married or in any legal partnership yet, but do live together. I send them money regularly because we don't yet share a bank account. I know they don't count as a dependent because they earned more than $8,000 last year before leaving their job. With taxes coming up I am a bit confused about how we should each file. Can I count the money I sent them last year as a "gift" on my own taxes? Or would there be a better way to file this? (The money sent was over $16,000 for the past year)
