Hopefully this topic is still active. Apparently the form 709 must be filed separately from the 1040 and by mail, no efile allowed. I just downloaded the IRS form 709-A which is a Short Form for gifts. The last Revision was Oct 2002, but you fill in the tax year. At first glance it seemed to apply to gifts from parents to children. I can find no online information on the form so I'm now thinking it is no longer usable. Am I right?
