Taxpayer made a gift of $100k cash to his son, a few days prior to taxpayer's death. In contemplation of death. No strings attached.
(For simplicity, let's ignore the annual gift exclusion amount for now.)
Questions:
- Is the gift included in the taxpayer's "gross estate" (Form 706 line 1)?
- Is the gift included in the taxpayer's "adjusted taxable gifts" (Form 706 line 4)?
- Does the gift get shown on Form 706 Schedule G?
- Should the gift be reported on Form 709?
