Understanding Gift Tax Reporting Requirements

The IRS requires individuals to file a gift tax return, typically Form 709, when they make gifts that exceed the annual exclusion amount in any given year. Understanding when and how to report gifts is crucial to avoid future complications, especially when large gifts may impact your lifetime gift and estate tax exemptions.

At Tax Xpress Refunds Inc., we help you determine whether a gift must be reported and how it should be valued for tax purposes. Gifts of cash, real estate, business interests, or valuable personal property are all subject to potential reporting. We also assist with the preparation of split-gift returns for married couples who elect to split gifts between them to maximize exclusion benefits.
