Nofan, I am right there with you regarding the confusion. I got a letter from the IRS rejecting my Form 709 as not being complete. Like you, our gift was a simple cash gift to a child. We did not submit Parts 2,3, 4 and they were not applicable and blank. Took me forever (and a call to the IRS) to figure out they were referencing Schedule A of Form 709, and NOT Schedule A of my 1040. The fact that Turbo Tax does not support Form 709 electronically did not help at all either. You are not alone in this confusion.
