Record a transfer to a trust without labeling a tax event
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Whether a state imposes an estate or inheritance tax is state law, and the lawyer must confirm which state's law governs. The exclusion amounts in this check are federal. No state estate or inheritance tax was opened, so Florida is not an example of a state tax. From the deed and the transfer, record the asset, the date, and whether the file describes the trust as revocable. Do not label a tax event and do not calculate a gain or a gift tax.
- What the lawyer must review
- Whether a state imposes an estate or inheritance tax is state law, and the lawyer must confirm which state's law governs. The exclusion amounts in this check are federal. No state estate or inheritance tax was opened, so Florida is not an example of a state tax. The IRS estate and gift page says the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, Public Law 119-21, signed on 4 July 2025, amends section 2010(c)(3) by increasing the basic exclusion amount to $15,000,000 for calendar year 2026. The year-of-death table on that page lists $15,000,000 for 2026. The annual exclusion per donee for a gift in 2026 is $19,000. The page does not say that every transfer to a trust is a completed gift, and it does not state a Form 709 due date. The tool records the asset, the date, and the revocable or irrevocable label if the file uses one. It does not decide that gift tax is due and it does not compute tax. An Australian capital-gains event label is not used. A state estate or inheritance tax was not opened. The page was last reviewed on 23 July 2026.
