too bad there is no feedback loop from the IRS to find out what they actually do with a letter like that. I suppose if the only thing they do is scan it and file it, at least it will be there in the file at some future date when someone reviews everything
I had no expectations they would save the letter. I wrote it solely to make the receiving clerk's job easier. It was about 3 sentences, 2 of which were "Enclosed please find two Forms 709" and "My wife and I together gifted community property in the amount of $_____ to _____" or words to that effect.
Also, just in case I made a mistake filling out 709s for the first time, the clerk would understand my intent.
