I see your point, but I still think D) is the correct answer because gift taxes are paid at the same rate as estate taxes.

I agree with User 1, C) seems to make sense because giving income-producing property to a low-income donee can save on income taxes.

I don't know, that just sounds too good to be true. I'm pretty sure the IRS has some rules about that kind of thing. You don't want to end up in hot water with the tax man, am I right?

You know, I'm really curious about option C. Saving income taxes by giving income-producing property to a low-income donee sounds like a great strategy. Maybe I should look into that.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. I was thinking option A might be the correct answer. The gift tax paid on a gift made more than 3 years prior to the death of the donor should avoid inclusion in the donor's gross estate, right?

I think option B is the correct answer. Appreciation in the value of a gift of real property after the date of the gift would increase the donor's federal estate tax liability, not decrease it.

Agreed. I'm worried about the gift tax and how it might affect my estate planning. Does anyone have experience with this?

This is a tricky question. I'm not sure about the answer, but I think it's important to understand the tax implications of making lifetime gifts.
