As you are likely aware, the Internal Revenue Service has extended the 2020 Tax Filing Deadline to May 17, 2021. Unfortunately, this extension does not apply to all Forms, one of which is Form 709 (Federal Gift Tax Return), which is filed to report gifts to another person. Generally, if you have gifted another person more than $15,000 (whether outright or in trust) in total during 2020, you are required to file Form 709 to report these gifts. These would be personal gifts (to a son, daughter, niece, nephew, friend, cousin, coworker, etc.), not to be confused with Charitable Contributions which are reported on your individual tax return.  You may also be required to file a gift tax return for certain gifts under $15,000 (e.g., gifts to certain trusts or to report gifts of hard-to-value assets, such as artwork or interest in a closely held entity).

Please be advised that filing an extension of time to file your Form 1040 would normally automatically extend your time to file the Form 709, but this year is unique. The IRS recently announced that in order to extend the time for filing your Form 709, either an Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File US Individual Tax Return Form (Form 4868) or an Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File Form 709 and/or Payment of Gift/Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax (Form 8892) must be filed on or before April 15, 2021, even though the deadline for filing your personal Income Tax Return has been extended until May 17, 2021.
If you suspect you may have a gift tax filing requirement, you should contact our office immediately, as an extension has to be filed on or before April 15, 2021.
As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have: 561-995-0064
We hope you remain safe and well.
Sincerely,
Lerro & Chandross PLLC
