FAQ
Documentation Requirements Gifts must be evidenced by a letter signed by the donor, called a gift letter. When the gift is sourced by a trust established by an acceptable donor or an estate of an acceptable donor, the gift letter must be signed by the donor and list the name of the trust or the estate account.
A letter from your parents and a copy of the bank statement may be enough. However, if your parents give more than that in a single year, they will be required to file a gift tax return on Form 709, assuming they are American citizens.
