You don't. If you take the entire rental property on your return and pay tax on any gain, what you give him is a gift. You are allowed to give any one individual up to $15,000 per year. If what you give him is more than that amount, you will need to file a gift tax return, Form 709. TurboTax does not support that form.
Form 709
The purpose of IRS Form 709 is to report gifts that are subject to gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes.
The most common rule is the annual exclusion, whereby anyone can give up to $15,000 in cash or property to a person without having a taxable gift. This is the provision that prevents most ordinary holiday or birthday gifts from being taxable.
Even if you have made a taxable gift, Form 709 isn't as big of a burden as many think. That's because unless you've made a huge gift, you won't have to pay any actual gift tax.
The U.S. has a unified gift and estate tax system at the federal level. Everyone has a lifetime exemption from gift and estate tax -- $11.2 million for 2018 -- and even after you use up your $15,000 annual exclusion, any remaining gift amount applies against your lifetime exemption amount.
