Planning for an unlimited revaluation period on prior gifts

Article Abstract:

Estate and gift tax planners should note that IRC section 2504(c) does not bar revaluation of an inter vivos gift after the three-year limitation period if the gift did not result in a gift tax assessment or payment. Inter vivos gifts have certain tax planning advantages, but taxpayers should reconsider gifts of difficult-to-value property such as mineral rights, land and closely held stock in light of potential revaluation. Revaluation for gift tax purposes can result in increased estate tax liabilities.
