The $17k per year is just a reporting limit. No taxes are owed until gifts exceed the lifetime amount, which is somewhere around $12M, or maybe $13M now as you write.

Didn’t realize this, thanks!

But I also like the IRS limits. It limits how much my family/in laws think I might be able to give them in a year :)
