What is form 709?
IRS form 709 is used to calculate gift taxes. Some gifts, donations, or transfers are subject to taxes. The form is also used to calculate taxes on generation skipping transfers, or GSTs. The taxpayer that gave the gift is required to pay the tax on it. Only in special cases will the receiver of a gift be required to pay taxes on the gift.

There are three general cases in which you will need to fill out form 709:

Gifts made to political organizations, some educational institutions, and some medical institutions are not subject to gift taxes.
