Two years ago my brother passed and I was the beneficiary of his annuity. Has the money deposited in my wife's and I joint bank account.
In 2023 I gave my son and daughter 125K each. Now I'm filling out a 709. Couple of questions....
Since the money was deposited and dispersed from our bank account,(checking.savings) would my wife have to fill out a 709 too? Does it "have" to be split gift? Or can it just be from me. Unlikely I'll ever reach the exemption amount.
Also since I have two donee's I'll need to attach another Schedule A statement. Do all the donee's go on this or only the extra ones?
Thank You

Gift splitting is not required, it's your choice. It would likely be recommended if you seek a specialist in this field. Schedule A can be used for both donee's.
We would advise a gift tax professional to achieve the best results. TurboTax does not provide for gift tax returns.
I send my sympathies to you and your family.
Thank you for the response. In regards to the donee's on schedule A.
I have everything filled out. But have one donee on the schedule A,(the original) and the other on a additional (separate) statement since there was no room on the original. Is the okay and proper? Or should I put them both on the additional statement leaving the original blank?
Just want to get hung up on a paper work procedural glitch.
thanks
One on each is just fine.
This requires the help of a tax professional.
Do not try to file it yourself. One small error could make a large difference.
Seriously, pay the $2000-$4000 it may cost to have it done right.
