Describe the penalties for undervaluing gifts on a gift tax return.

What will be an ideal response?


Sec. 6662 imposes a penalty, at one of two rates, on underpayment of gift or estate taxes resulting from too low a valuation of property. The penalty is imposed on the amount of the transfer tax understatement. If the valuation shown on the tax return exceeds 65% of the valuation determined upon audit or court trial, there is no penalty. If the value reported on the return is 65% or less of the correct value, the penalty rate is:







A taxpayer is exempt from the penalty if the underpayment is less than $5,000. The IRS will not levy the penalty if the taxpayer shows good faith and reasonable cause.
