Course Description
This CE/CPE course will explain the caveats and considerations of giving away the family home from the initial transfer to the final sale. We will discuss the methods of transfer, capital gains issues, installment notes, related party rents, and how to devise the best tax outcomes for both the donor and done.
Giving away the family home is a commonly broached topic by all taxpayers, not just those subject to the gift tax. Addressing the situation correctly, and hopefully, upfront can avoid paying excess tax to the IRS and aid taxpayers in transferring an invaluable asset to a family member.
There is a multitude of considerations surrounding gifting and the subsequent sale of a home. These questions covered at the time of transfer include whether to gift the property, sell the property to a family member, or perhaps set up a part-sale part-gift transaction.
If a sale is part of the deal, not only is minimizing capital gains tax a key consideration but also avoiding disallowed losses under gifting rules. Additionally, the parent may choose to remain in the gifted property, or the child may move in before it is transferred, creating new tax conundrums.
Holding the property until death would provide a basic step-up, but there are times when gifting a home to a family member is the best alternative. In these situations, the tax adviser needs to structure the transaction in the best interest of both the related parties.
With the help of this CE/CPE webinar on taxation speaker Lawrence Pon, walks you through the numerous considerations of transferring a home to a related party, including tips to minimize capital gains, methods of transfer, installment sales and installment notes, and non-tax considerations when gifting this primary asset.
