[magantisurya]

Hi, I have to file gift tax as i have sent $18010 to my brother who resides in India. I have transferred via remitly to him. I need to file gift tax for $10 as it exceeds the threshold by $10. Its just to file nothing to pay as far as i guess. Please help. This is second time i am requesting, I got a call and the executive collected the details but did not reverted back to me. Please help. I have filled the form and uploaded in documents section. Can any one suggest if there are any corrections to be made ?

Gifts given to family members, friends or other individuals are not deductible.   Gifts received are not taxable to the person who received the gift, and are not entered on a tax return.

If your gift exceeds the yearly limit ($18,000 per individual)  imposed by the gift tax rules, then you will need to complete a Form 709 gift tax form and send it to the IRS, although it is very unlikely that you will owe any tax.

TurboTax does not support Form 709.  It is not an income tax form and would not be included as part of an income tax return.

Here is a link to the form:
