Actual for You - Estate - Do You Owe Taxes On That Gift?
Forget about it. Yup. Forget about it. Oh, I know that statement is going to tick off some SEO's royally. The truth is the truth though. Sorry, guys.The search engines continue to evolve month by month. Chasing an ever-changing algorithm is like chasing a chicken on speed. You're never going to catch it. We all know how the search engines change and evolved. Google shakes things up on a fairly regular basis and, when it happens, you're sure to hear weeping, wailing an

He writes, “I have a question about my mom's home that I inherited. Before my mom died she put her real estate into joint ownership between her and my sister. It was supposed to help make settling her estate easier. Before mom passed away, my sister died. After my sister died, mom placed the real estate jointly between herself and me. Mom passed away over a year ago and I am now contemplating the sale of her house. After mom's death I had the home transferred to my and my wife’s names.
What are my capital gains liabilities on the sale of the house? Do I pay capital gains on the whole sale, half the sale, or none of the sale?”
Mr. K’s question provides an excellent opportunity to clarify the confusing matter of gifting and inheritance. Few people are aware of the tax implications and needlessly end up creating a tax headache for themselves and their loved ones.
Let’s explain what an inheritance is and how it differs from a gift. An inheritance is money, property, or another asset of value that is transferred after death. A gift occurs when money, property or other assets are transferred before death. An inheritance and a gift are handled very differently from a tax standpoint.

When was the last time you actually made all the calls and contacts you had to make in order to get the prospects and clients you need to reach your sales goals?During the month it’s a good idea to measure yourself by using calling and contact statistics. These indicators should include: how many dials you’ve made, conversations you’ve had, appointments you’ve attended, proposals you’ve written – and their worth, closed sales you’ve contracted – and their worth, and t

It is far easier to convince a first time visitor to give you their email address, than it is to give you their credit card number. By offering a free gift in exchange for permission to send emails, you can increase the likelihood that the customer will take action and, consequently, allow you more opportunities to make a sale.An effective gift to offer your visitor is an email course on a relevant subject. If a visitor is agreeable to receiving this information, th

Inheritances aren’t subject to Federal Estate Tax unless the estate’s value is over a certain amount, which as of January 1st, 2006 is two million dollars. Because all assets owned by the deceased are included in the estate’s valuation (i.e. retirement accounts, annuities, life insurance, etc.), reaching that two million dollar limit is easier than you think.
Even if there is no gift or estate tax when the assets are transferred, there can be capital gain taxes when the assets are sold. The trick is determining the asset’s original value, or cost basis, and that depends on whether the asset was a gift or an inheritance.
When you receive a gift, you also receive the cost basis the person giving the gift had. So, if a parent paid $10,000 for a home and it was worth $100,000 when it was gifted to the child, the child now has a cost basis of $10,000. If the house is sold 5 years later for $125,000, the child will owe taxes on a gain of $115,000.
If the house was instead inherited by the child, the cost basis is the value of the house at the time of inheritance, which in our example would be $100,000.
So when the house is sold 5 years later for $125,000, the child only owes taxes on the gain of $25,000. In tax parlance, the house received a step-up in basis when transferred after death. It doesn’t if transferred prior to death.
Let’s apply this to Mr. K’s situation. When Mom added Sister’s name to the deed, it was a gift to the sister of 50% of the value of the home and sister’s cost basis was 50% of Mom’s
