GIFT-TAX NOTE (Federal)

FEDERAL GIFT TAX (NOTICE TO DONOR). A gift of real property may be a reportable gift (26 U.S.C. § 2501 et seq.). The donor — not the donee — is generally liable for any federal gift tax (26 U.S.C. § 2502).

• Gift tax: Section 2501 imposes a tax on covered transfers by gift; whether a return or tax is due depends on the actual transaction and applicable exclusions, deductions, and credits. Ask a tax adviser whether an IRS Form 709 is required.
• Basis: Section 1015 generally starts with the donor's adjusted basis for property acquired by gift, but uses gift-date fair market value to determine a loss when the donor's adjusted basis is higher. Other adjustments and exceptions may apply.

Consult a qualified tax advisor before completing this gift.
