The other $2K needs to be dealt with next year, or hand him cash.

EDIT: Sorry, it's now $18K per year, problem solved.

EDIT AGAIN: There is also a multi-million dollar gift limit per person, and you *might* be able to just give him the $50k and apply it against the $13M lifetime gift, but I'm not exactly sure how that works.

As long as he reports the gift on his taxes over the bare min . It goes against that multimillion dollar cap and it’s all kosher. No extra tax liability.
