    Can you deduct it? NO.

    Gifts given to individuals are never deductible.  Only donations to charity can be deducted, and only if you itemize deductions.   But if you gave a gift worth $17,000 or more  to your friend you will need to complete a gift tax form 709.   

     

    TurboTax does not  support Form 709, but you can download it from the IRS website and fill it out per the Form 709 instructions.

    Gifts to specific individuals are never deductible, even if they are needy.
