The IRS Form 709 is filed by U.S. individuals to report taxable gifts made during the tax year.
In this example, we look at a taxpayer who gifts cash of $19,000 to her son. The annual exclusion available in 2023 is $17,000, so the gift must be reported because it exceeds the annual exclusion limit per donee.

Thanks for simplifying this. I continue to be amazed on how complicated the IRS can make what should be a straight forward concept!

@gordonhamachi126 2 месяца назад

Thank you so much. I wasted a few hours trying to figure this out on my own, before finding your excellent video.

@JaySoule 2 месяца назад

Thank you. This was excellent. I was intimidated trying to figure out form 709 but was able to do it easily following these instructions.

@UHMOutreachCollege 3 месяца назад

You are the only one (a dozen websites have not) who actually explained how to do the form. All the other sites said they'd expplain how to fill out the form; uniformly, ALL said only to "Fill out Schedule B" for example. That was their instruction. Bravo sir.

Thank you for taking the time to walk through a Form 709. Yours is the best video I have found on RU-vid.

I work on state excise taxes for my main job and have filed property taxes as well. I stared at this and the instructions for way too long trying to figure it out. I was cross eyed. THANK YOU! I think the IRS is the best at making something simple, overly complicated.

I have a masters degree in Finance, and had to do this for my dad. Your video was amazing - thank you! I would have paid for this.

This is beyond useful. It is 100% clear, concise and complete. Exactly as needed. Thanks so much.

Super helpful! This was great. I've only done one of these, but now have a 'prior' year to report. So many people think they need a CPA to get these forms done - but it just takes guidance and help from someone like you. Be blessed and may your business prosper in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen

Very helpful! Would like similar walkthrough for a married couple giving gifts over annual exclusions.

Thanks! We will add a video covering that scenario

Well Done! Well presented and very helpful. I'm very grateful to you for taking the time to post this. Heaven knows that the Fed could never bother with any real practical help like this for taxpayers. Thank you!

Bless you for doing this!! I spent way too much time trying to figure For 709 on my own and came up with owing tax, which I knew I didn't because of the huge exemption.

Thanks, Jason - would love to see an example for a direct-split gift example. Thanks again for creating this excellent video.

@scottthompson8561 2 месяца назад

Thank you very much for the help. It seems like this form is needlessly complicated. The Table for Computing Gift Tax was the most difficult part for me. Thank you again for the help.

@BorisBlacher-od4co 2 месяца назад

Thank you. This is helpful (as opposed to pretty much everyone else). A question I have (and it is also asked a lot and NEVER answered) is what write on line 7 if the person is a resident alien (green card holder). The instructions only talk about "citizen" and "non-citizen non-resident", but both are not only inapplicable to green card holders, but can actually have grave consequences (both "claiming to be a citizen anywhere" and "claiming to be a non-resident on any tax return" disqualify the person from ever acquiring the citizenship in the future according to USCIS guidelines). I would be very grateful for your answer.

@raineyday7286 2 месяца назад

Thank you so much for your excellent tutorial on the Gift Tax return. I got stumped on the actual calculation of the amount of tax due until I finally understood the amount of tax shown for each range is cumulative in the IRS Gift Tax Table. That was not obvious to me. Perhaps mention that in future videos for us newbies. I look forward to watching more of your videos!

The gifts subject only to gift tax box if limited for space with all the information they want. What do you do if you have several people that will not fit in that allotted space?

Thanks Jason, this was very helpful. One question: are you required to complete the Part 3 - Tax Computation section of the form for a basic cash gift?

@carrie4579 День назад

Once 709 form is filed for its first year, does it mean that this type of return have to file each year in the future?

@aponly 3 месяца назад

Thank you! As noted before, why does everything have to be so complicated?

@user-en4my8cb1p Месяц назад

Just a quick comment. I noticed at the bottom of page 1... in the far right of the signature area that you have a "NO" checked in the box reading "May the IRS discuss this return with the preparer shown below?" Should I also check "NO"?

@SG-dt1gb 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the detailed walkthrough of Form 709, Jason! We live in CA. If $50,000 was transferred last year from an investment account solely in the name of my husband to our son's student loan account, is $34,000 tax free? In that case, we can split the gift & report $16,000 in line 1, right? Is the investment account started in CA considered a community property though it's solely under my husband's name? Hope you can reply & post another video with walkthrough of a split gift for a married couple giving a gift more than $34,000!

@spu3 3 месяца назад

Thank you Jason! I am slowly figuring out Form 709. How does page 1 of the return differ if Jane Q is married and all other gift items remain the same?

@dickydesai7609 6 дней назад

thanks for the video. Would you be able to help me fill out Form 709 for gifts I am about to make to my family. Based on on your individual advise, I would make the further decision

@user-mc5nw5uq9e 3 месяца назад

I have gifted cash and 30 shares of stock to each of my 3 siblings. Total of each siblings gift totaled $17,499. On Schedule A Part I there is enough room to document 1 sibling's cash gift. Do I attach another Schedule A Part 1 for the stock to this same sibling? Therefore in total I would have 2 pages of Schedule A Part 1 for each sibling. Then on 709 page 1 I add the total of all gifts. Thank you for your video, time and assistance. Respectfully, Jane Marie Cook

@kennethnimmo6334 3 месяца назад

Do you need a separate form for each donee? Or, how do you enter info for multiple donees in the space provided

@jaw5369 3 месяца назад

If I gift the money via bank transfer, should I describe it as a cash gift or something else?

@michaelg9359 Месяц назад

But wait - even though it's 'taxable' it doesn't mean you're going to get taxed on it right (unless you've given gifts of over $13,000,000 to that person over his/her lifetime)?

@AnnM-kn4ic 2 месяца назад

If there is one gift for less than the exclusion (i.e. 15,000) and another gift for more than the exclusion to the same person, (i.e. 30,000) do you add both gifts and make it 45,000 and then take out 17,000 or do you only report the 30,000 and take our 17,000? There is a big difference in taxes.

@raymondwong336 Месяц назад

What if the donor is married, but the gift is only coming from him and not his wife? Would you answer NO on line 12?

@JohnShockey 2 месяца назад

This is a great video but I have a question. I'm filing this form for my wife. The cash was under her name and we file jointly. I know your video was for a single person and curious if I would need to do anything different than following your steps in our case?

@longbai4017 2 месяца назад

Hi Jason, how IRS is tracking the 709s taxpayer had filed? In the other words, when taxpayer lost track of 709s he/she had filed, is it possible to pull the records from his/her tax account in IRS website?

@ednajuarez5381 3 месяца назад

If the donor does not file the 709 does the receiver need to file it?

@asd9asdify 2 месяца назад

Are you sure about Line 7 on page 1? Instruction says to follow the same tax table, which means 12,920,000*.4 = 5,168,000 as opposed to that big table that has 5,113,800 Apologies. It comes out to be the same (12,920,000-1,000,000)*.4 + 345,800 = 5,113,800
