Who does not need to file a gift tax return. If you meet all of the following requirements, you are not required to file Form 709.
• You made no gifts during the year to your spouse.
• You did not give more than $18,000 to any one donee.
• All the gifts you made were of present interests
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 ($19,000 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.
