Quick look-ups:
1981 IRS present interest gift annual donee exclusion: $3,000
1982 IRS present interest gift annual donee exclusion: $10,000
2001 IRS present interest gift annual donee exclusion: $10,000
2002 IRS present interest gift annual donee exclusion: $11,000
2003 IRS present interest gift annual donee exclusion: $11,000
2004 IRS present interest gift annual donee exclusion: $11,000
2005 IRS present interest gift annual donee exclusion: $11,000
2006 IRS present interest gift annual donee exclusion: $12,000

The annual donee exclusion is not cumulative. Accordingly, if it is not used during a particular year, the opportunity to use that year's annual donee exclusion vanishes. The use of reciprocal transfers to multiply the benefits of the annual donee exclusion is not permitted.

IRS Code §2503(b) The exclusion is available only when the gift transfer consists of a present interest (i.e., an interest or estate commencing in possession or enjoyment immediately). No exclusion is available for a gift made to a trust for the transferor's descendants or other donees where the value of a particular beneficiary's right to income cannot be determined.

2007 IRS unified credit: $2,000,000

Though the estate tax is repealed for 2010, by current law it is resurrected in 2011 and the unified credit (estate tax exemption) will be set back to $1,000,000. 

While the federal estate tax is increased in stages and repealed, the gift tax is fixed at $1,000,000 and remains in existence in 2010, the year of the repeal of the federal estate tax.
