Nofan, thank you for your reply!
I, too, had been quite confused, since when I first printed out the Form 709, I only got parts 1, 2, and 3.
So I had no idea there were other forms/schedules that came along with it.
Then when everything online kept referring to Schedule A, it was no where to be found when I searched for 709 Schedule A.
And I, like you, saw that the Schedule A for 1040 did not look appropriate for the 709.
When I used the link provided by M-MTax last night, it took me right to the entire set of 709 forms. Who knows how I only got access to the first portion of the 709 and not the entire set of forms?:/
Definitely a bit confusing filling this out.
I was surprised today when my tax preparer responded to my asking questions about Form 709 by saying "Nope, I decided early in my career that I was not going to have anything to do with 709s".
