Gift transfer — What You Need to Know

The vehicle is transferred to the recipient with no monetary consideration. Gift transfers often have special tax implications and may require notarization depending on the state.

Seller guidance

If the vehicle's fair market value exceeds the annual gift tax exclusion ($18,000 for 2024 per IRS), the donor must file IRS Form 709 (United States Gift and Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax Return). The lifetime exemption ($13.61 million in 2024) typically means no tax is owed, but the form is still required. Some states require the word "gift" on the title or a separate gift affidavit to waive use tax.

Buyer guidance

You will likely owe use tax on the fair market value of the vehicle at registration unless your state exempts immediate family gifts. California, for example, exempts transfers between parents, children, spouses, and domestic partners. Check your state DMV for exemption eligibility.

Legal note

IRS Form 709 is required when cumulative gifts to one person exceed the annual exclusion in a calendar year. Vehicle value is based on fair market value (e.g., Kelley Blue Book). Many states require a notarized statement of gift or an affidavit to qualify for sales/use tax exemption. Some states (e.g., Texas Form 14-317) have a dedicated gift transfer form.

Gift transfer checklist

  • Establish fair market value (Kelley Blue Book or comparable)
  • Determine if IRS Form 709 filing is required (value >$18,000 in 2024)
  • Obtain state-specific gift affidavit or complete the gift section on the title
  • Confirm state sales/use tax exemption eligibility for family gifts
  • Notarize the bill of sale or gift affidavit if your state requires it
