State tax filing

@lyihjl-hotmail-c , while agree with my colleagues @xmasbaby0  and @M-MTax  on the gift tax  info. I  don't understand  your  statements  :  

(a)  " buy his house for my side as well as his side"   -- are you trying to buy a property together or what ?    Is this a loan  to your brother or what ?

(b)  "without tax issues"   ---- generally  all the monies you have after paying taxes, i.e. post tax  monies -- is your money.   Whether you gift or loan there is no tax on it.  Even if you gift  above the free per year/ per donee amount  it does not attract any tax.  The reason you need to file a gift tax form is for amounts greater than the free limit is accumulated  throughout your life  for purposes of  Estate/Gift tax reconciliation  upon your demise i.e. against the lifetime tax  limit  ( of 1 million , I think ).  Unless you are  super rich, most of us will never get there.

 

Hope that settles your query.
