Gift Tax Form 709 - Donee Basis
Regarding Gift Tax Form 709 (not supported by TurboTax software), we gifted our son residential Rental Real Estate. We, the Donors, are assessed gift tax on Fair Market Value but have heard that our son must carry our Depreciated Basis as his Basis, not the Fair Market Value.
Our Depreciated Basis is approximately one third of current Fair Market Value. Since we were taxed at Fair Market Value, can his Basis be Fair Market Value also?
