If you gave the gift, the taxes are usually paid by you and not the person or company who received it. Some types of gifts are not subject to the gift tax, such as gifts to a spouse, gifts to charity, and gifts to help with educational expenses. If you\u2019re not sure whether your gift requires paying a gift tax, be sure to check with your accountant. If it turns out you are responsible for a gift tax, the next step is to hire a certified appraiser.<\/p>\n The appraiser will prepare an appraisal report in which he or she has determined the fair market value of your gift. Submit this appraisal report with your tax return, and be sure to include the date the gift was given and the name of the recipient.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s tax season may be over, but it\u2019s never too late to start planning for next year. If you need a certified machinery and equipment appraiser, the NEBB Institute can help you find one<\/a>.<\/p>\n
