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 (Pennsylvania-specific)
Pennsylvania exempts transfers between spouses, parents and children, and siblings from the 6% sales tax under 72 P.S. § 7201(k)(8). Complete Form MV-13ST (Application for Exemption of Vehicle Sales Tax). Both donor and recipient must sign.

Back Mountain Gift transfer utv template — when to file
Pennsylvania requires title transfer within 20 days of the sale date on the bill of sale. For gift transfer transactions specifically, file at Pennsylvania DMV – Back Mountain (Visit https://www.dmv.pa.gov to find the nearest Back Mountain office) during normal hours: Mon–Fri 8:00 AM–5:00 PM (verify hours with local office). Miss the 20-day window and Pennsylvania typically charges a late-transfer penalty plus accrued use tax, and the seller can remain on the title for civil liability until the buyer completes retitling. Bring the signed title, the completed Back Mountain bill of sale, your government-issued ID, and payment for the $58.00 title transfer fee plus 6% sales tax on the purchase price.
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 Pennsylvania DMV – Back Mountain; the seller keeps a duplicate to prove the date of transfer if a future liability question arises before the title fully retitles.
