What to know about gift transfer sales in Puerto Rico
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.
What to include in your bill of sale
- Full legal names and addresses for both buyer and seller.
- Dirt Bike make, model, year, VIN, and current mileage.
- Agreed sale price, payment method, and transaction date.
- Any gift transfer-specific disclosures required in Puerto Rico.
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).

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 considerations
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.
Puerto Rico Legal Requirements
Under federal law, gifts of vehicles exceeding $18,000 in fair market value (2024 annual exclusion) require the donor to file IRS Form 709, though the $13.61 million lifetime exemption means actual gift tax is rarely owed. Most states do not impose a separate state gift tax, but many require a gift affidavit or notation on the title to waive sales or use tax. Check your state DMV for the specific form and eligible family relationships that qualify for the tax exemption.
