Basis transfers when giving a gift. So, yes, your son will carry the depreciated basis on the property that you have gifted him. His basis will be adjusted if the FMV at the date of the gift is lower than your adjusted basis. He will also adjust his basis by adding any gift tax that you pay as well as any improvements or adjustments that he makes to the property.
