The gift of immovable property must be registered and the movable property can be made valid by delivery of possession or registered deed. The gift must be accepted by the donee and the acceptance must be during the lifetime of the donee and the acceptance must be given while the donee was still capable of giving.

But once you transfer a taxable gift valued at above those limits to any one person, you have to fill out Form 709. Officially, it's called the United States Gift (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return. If you make a joint gift with your spouse, each individual must fill out a Form 709.

In Minnesota, there is no gift tax - however, if you give a gift that exceeds $17,000 in value then this gift may be included in your estate if you die within three year of making the gift.

At a glance: You don't have to report gifts to the IRS unless the amount exceeds $17,000 in 2023. Any gifts exceeding $17,000 in a year must be reported and contribute to your lifetime exclusion amount.

Here's how it works: If, during any year, your gift is above the annual threshold, you must report it as a taxable gift on IRS Form 709. In that case, you would apply your applicable credit to determine if you owed any gift tax. This amount is equal to the tax on the basic exclusion amount.

Taxpayers use IRS Form 709 to report gifts. Filing the form with the IRS is the responsibility of the giver, but it's only required in certain gift giving situations. Take for instance the check Grandma writes for your birthday each year.
