Ah, the old 'taxable gift' question. I bet the IRS loves to see these on exams, just to keep us on our toes. I mean, who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned tax surprise?

I'm going with C. The father is basically giving away his assets to his kids, and that's considered a taxable gift, even if it's in the form of joint ownership. Easy peasy!

Yep, C is the way to go. Both scenarios involve the father giving away assets to his children, which meets the criteria for a taxable gift.

I think C is the right answer too. Any transfer of assets where the donor doesn't receive fair market value in return is considered a taxable gift.

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm leaning towards D, but I'm not completely confident. Maybe I should review the gift tax rules again.

I'm not sure about this one. It's tricky with the right of survivorship thing. I'll have to think about it some more.

I think the answer is C. Both I and II involve taxable gifts, as the father is transferring ownership of the real estate and the bank account to his children during his lifetime.
