Family transfer — What You Need to Know

The vehicle is transferred between immediate family members. Many states offer reduced or waived sales and use tax for qualifying family transfers.

Seller guidance

Identify whether your state's DMV has a specific family transfer exemption form or requires a relationship affidavit. Qualifying relationships vary by state but typically include spouses, parents, children, siblings, and grandparents. Keep the bill of sale simple and clearly state the relationship.

Buyer guidance

Even if no money changes hands, you will owe use tax on fair market value in some states unless you qualify for the family exemption. Bring your relationship documentation (marriage certificate, birth certificate) to the DMV when re-registering. The title transfer process is otherwise the same as a standard sale.

Legal note (Massachusetts-specific)

Massachusetts exempts intra-family vehicle transfers from the 6.25% sales/use tax, provided the transferee is a spouse, parent, child, brother, or sister and the transferor previously paid Massachusetts sales or use tax on the vehicle. Use Form MVU-26 (Affidavit in Support of a Claim for Exemption from Sales or Use Tax for a Motor Vehicle Transferred Within a Family). The MVU-26 exemption eliminates both the sales tax and the $25 gift fee. Grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, and cousins do not qualify for MVU-26; those transfers must use MVU-24 and pay the $25 gift fee if no consideration is exchanged.

Family transfer checklist

  • Confirm qualifying family relationship under your state's DMV rules
  • Obtain the required family transfer exemption form or affidavit
  • Document fair market value on the bill of sale (for tax records)
  • Bring relationship proof (marriage certificate, birth certificate) to the DMV
  • Determine if IRS Form 709 is required if value exceeds the annual gift exclusion
  • Complete Form MVU-26 (Affidavit — Family Transfer) — eligible relationships: spouse, parent, child, brother, sister only
  • Bring proof of relationship (birth certificate or marriage certificate) to the RMV
  • Transfers to grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, or cousins do not qualify — use MVU-24 with $25 fee instead

Template reminder. Whether you keep your template as a blank template you fill in by hand, both buyer and seller should leave the signing with an identical executed copy. The buyer needs the original to present at MA RMV – Worcester Service Center; the seller keeps a duplicate to prove the date of transfer if a future liability question arises before the title fully retitles.
