How the Gift Tax Works | U.S. Tax [Video]

How the Gift Tax Works | U.S. Tax

Here’s how the gift tax works:

If you give someone a gift, any amount exceeding $15,000 is considered a taxable gift.

However, you also get a lifetime exemption of $11.7 million.

Thus, let’s say you give someone a gift of $215,000:
• The first $15,000 is excluded
• The next $200,000 reduces your lifetime exemption to from $11.7 to $11.5 million

Thus, you don’t pay any tax because the amount over $15,000 reduced your lifetime exclusion.

However:
• When the lifetime exclusion goes down, this decreases the exemption your estate gets when you die. Thus, gifts over $15,000 could end up causing you to get hit with estate tax, depending on the value of your estate
• If the lifetime exemption reaches zero, any gifts over $15,000 will incur gift tax

Now, if you do make a gift exceeding $15,000 you need to file Form 709 (the gift tax return) on or before April 15th of the year following the gift.

And if both you and your spouse make a gift, you each need to file a separate Form 709.

You might also be subject to gift tax at the state level depending on where you live.

IFRS 16 Lessor Accounting Example 1 | Finance Lease [Video]

When a lessor accounts for a finance lease under IFRS 16, the lessor must derecognize the asset from its statement of financial position and record a lease receivable upon commencement of the lease. If the lessor is a manufacturer or dealer, then the lessor must also record sales revenue and cost of goods sold upon commencement of the lease. The lessor will then recognize interest revenue throughout the lease term. At the end of the lease, the lessor will restore the asset to its statement of financial position. If the actual residual value turns out to be less than the guaranteed residual value, the lessor will receive cash from the lessee to cover the shortfall. — Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
