Hi,

I made electronic cash transfers from my US bank account to my father’s US Bank account using Zelle every months in 2020 for total 65K.

I am filing up the FORM 709, to report and get the lifetime gift tax exclusion.
In Schedule A Part 1, should I need to put every single cash transfer (it will be 20 transfer) or Sum of all transfer with date “2020”?

It is safest (and most accurate) to record each transaction and then total them.

 

However, for all cash transfers I have seen returns with one total input on one line (to one donee) and the date reported as 12/31.

Thank you so much.

 I will put SUM and put 12/31/20 as date, because I am transferring every other week in 2021 also.
