Thanks for responding...
The issue is:
To me, the instructions for split gifts on Form 709, Page 3, Part 4, Line 1 are quite clear yet the software provider has added the spouses split gifts beginning with the 2020 return.
- Page 11, Part 4 - Taxable Gift Reconciliation. Enter only gifts of the DONOR. If gift splitting has been elected, enter only the value of the gift that is attributable to the spouse that is filing the return.
The questions are:
1. Am I missing something obvious?
2. What is the argument that the spouses gifting should be included?
I'd rather not identify the provider since I may be mistaken.
