You cannot e-file Form 709, United States Gift (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return. The Instructions for Form 709 direct you to mail it to the applicable address listed below.

This means you must file a separate return for each calendar year a reportable gift is given (for example, a gift given in 2024 must be reported on a 2024 Form 709).
