Form 709, Schedule A, Part 1, line 1, column D (Donor’s adjusted basis of gift) and column F (Value at date of gift).

I inherited a property from my father in 2003.  The property was appraised at $121,500 at that time for my basis.  I have used this property for as a second home and for personal use since that time.  I sold this property to my son in 2022 for $115,000, $6500 less than my basis.  I received a 1099-S reporting the gross proceeds of $115,000 in box 2.  No depreciation ever taken and not claiming any loss.  The 2022 current appraisal is $230,000.  I believe that I need to report the $99,000 gift of equity on IRS Form 709 (i.e. $115,000 - $16000 annual gift allowance = $99,000)

My question pertains to Form 709, Schedule A, Part 1, line 1, column D (Donor’s adjusted basis of gift) and column F (Value at date of gift).  I’m just not certain and a bit unclear about the correct values for these two entries.  Any help, advice, and clarification will be appreciated.  Thank you.

this is an income tax forum since Turbotax does not do gift tax returns. but the info you provided and the

questions are straightforward so

 inherited a property from my father in 2003.  The property was appraised at $121,500 at that time for my basis.

so that + any subsequent improvements

 The 2022 current appraisal is $230,000 Value at date of gift

sold for $115,000

so the gift is $115,000 FMV vs sales price.
