Need A Gift Gift Of Equity - Do I Need To Fill Out A Gift Tax Return?

Gift of Equity - do I need to fill out a Gift tax Return? - need a gift

OK, had my parents' house in foreclosure, so I bought it and have a mortgage on it. After a year and a half, he bought me. Part of my sales was for them to qualify a "gift equity" of about 48,000 U.S. dollars for a mortgage. Is it necessary that the report of this gift of "fairness", and if so, how? From what I read, it seems that I must file a gift, but (as my first gift, I'm good in the lives of more than $ 2,000,000) shall be paid no taxes on that point. Am I in my understanding of what is right?

Because your donation is over $ 12,000 for each of them requires a return. The amount of $ 1,000,000 lifetime exclusion in grants, not $ 2,000,000, as have property taxes, while reducing their exemption from inheritance tax consequences and may, if you go If you avoid gift tax on the gift.

Addendum: If the facts in his hand a present for you and your wife, your mother and your father can not take advantage and 4 opportunities to be shared, the amount of your exclusion lives.

The amounts exclude taxes on gifts and inheritances will be standardized. Quantities are different, however, to permanently reduce the use of part of their unified gift tax exclusion with exclusion available to your property.

Sounds good - you must file a gift, but you are no taxes as long as you pay at the border of life.

You need a tax donation file in the memory of the gift. Split your gift equally between the 2 parents ($ 24,000) per person, with two $ 12,000 exclusion to the amount of the tax subject of $ 24,000 be reduced. From what you use less exclusion of their lives to reduce their taxes to zero.

If you are married, you can split the gift between you and your spouse for a total exclusion of $ 48,000, then you will not have some of their exclusion. Even if you have not yet subject to gift tax must file Form 709-tell that you're splitting the donation.

As a side note, if you are a part of his life, except in the case of the statement referred to his will, because it affect your property and future gifts.
