Don provided $330,000 of the purchase price and his son provided the remaining $216,000. Has Done made a taxable gift and, if so, in what amount

Respuesta :

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As the price of the property is $546,000 which is purchased by don and his son

So individually they paid an amount of

= $546,000 ÷ 2

= $273,000

Now the amount paid by Don is $330,000

And, his son paid $216,000

As it can be seen that amount paid by don is more than the 50% of the property value so this represents that this is a taxable gift to his son

Now the gift in the don hands would be

= $330,000 - $216,000

= $114,000

The $15,000 would not be taxable

So, the taxable gift would be

= $114,000 - $15,000

= $99,000
