    Gift tax returns appear to be seductively simple. Failure to file a gift tax return timely and disclose transactions “in such return, or in a statement attached to the return, in a manner adequate to apprise the Secretary of the nature of such item” in accordance with regulations that impose specific requirements for “adequate disclosure” can delay the tolling of the statute of limitations.

A complete and thorough review of all available options should be made prior to making the transfer.
