"The transfer is nontaxable."

From a federal income tax perspective, the transfer does not need to be reported (since there is obviously no consideration being paid) and the trust will take a carryover basis in the property (accumulated depreciation included).

However, the transfer could be considered a gift (possibly requiring that a gift tax return be filed) depending upon who currently owns the property and the beneficiary(ies) of the trust.
