Maximum tax-free donation amount

According to IRS.gov, the federal gift tax process centers on reporting certain transfers of property (or money) made during life where the donor does not receive full consideration in return. The primary form is Form 709, United States Gift (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return.


What is a gift and when is tax due?


The gift tax applies to transfers of any type of property by gift. You make a gift if you give property (including money), or the use of or income from property, without expecting to receive something of at least equal value in return. Selling something for less than full value or making an interest-free/reduced-interest loan can also be a gift.


Most people never pay gift tax because of the annual exclusion and the large lifetime exemption (unified with the estate tax). Tax is generally due only after taxable gifts exceed the lifetime applicable exclusion amount.


Who must file Form 709?


U.S. citizens or residents must generally file Form 709 (even if no tax is due) if:


• They give gifts totaling more than the annual exclusion ($19,000 per donee in 2025 and 2026) to any person other than a spouse.


• They make gifts of future interests (these do not qualify for the annual exclusion, regardless of amount).


• They elect to split gifts with a spouse.


• Certain other situations apply (e.g., community property gifts, joint tenancy gifts, or specific elections).


Key exceptions / transfers not subject to gift tax (these generally do not require reporting on Form 709):


• Direct payments of tuition to a qualifying educational organization.


• Direct payments of medical expenses to the care provider.


• Gifts to a U.S.-citizen spouse (unlimited marital deduction in most cases).


• Transfers to certain political organizations or qualifying exempt organizations.


• Gifts that do not exceed the annual exclusion (present-interest gifts only).


Only individuals file gift tax returns. If a trust, estate, partnership, or corporation makes a gift, the individual beneficiaries/partners/shareholders are treated as the donors.


Nonresidents who are not U.S. citizens generally use Form 709-NA for gifts of U.S.-situs real or tangible property.


When and how to file


• Form 709 is a calendar-year return. It is generally due by April 15 of the year following the gifts (or the next business day if April 15 falls on a weekend or holiday).


• An automatic 6-month extension is available via Form 8892 (or by extending your income tax return with Form 4868/2350). An extension to file does not extend the time to pay any tax due.


• Electronic filing is available through Modernized e-File (MeF).


• Paper returns are filed with the IRS in Kansas City, MO (specific address in the instructions; private delivery services have different street addresses).


The donor is generally responsible for any tax due. If the donor does not pay, the recipient may become liable.


Basic process overview (from the Form 709 instructions)


1. Determine whether you must file.


2. Identify reportable gifts.


3. Decide whether to elect gift-splitting with a spouse.


4. Complete the form (Part I general information, Schedule A for gifts, Schedules B/C/D as needed for prior gifts, DSUE, and GST tax, and Part II tax computation).


5. Sign and file (electronically or by mail). Attach supporting documents such as appraisals when required.


Gifts reduce the remaining lifetime exemption available for future gifts or for the estate tax at death. The IRS provides detailed instructions, rate schedules, and FAQs on its site (including pages for Form 709, gift tax FAQs, and “What’s new — Estate and gift tax”).


For the most current rules, forms, instructions, and addresses, check the official IRS pages directly, as amounts (annual exclusion, lifetime exemption) and procedures can be updated. Complex situations often benefit from professional advice.

Can these people fucking stop already? No one is going to do anything.

The NCAA was presented with the biggest game fixing scheme in sports history and gave them nothing. What, they going to give them the hammer because the head coach got some?

Seriously just stop. Nothing is happening to these guys. They got away with it. They stole 3 years of college football, won the title, and got away with it.

Worse than that, they’ll run a documentary on the 2023 team in a few years to celebrate it.

Nothing is happening to them.

Other than the ass beating they’re about to catch in 5 months.

Nothing is happening to them.

Google AI:
Alabama football's annual Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) spending reached $24 million, tracking behind some top competitors who spend upwards of $40 million.

Year-by-Year Spending Growth
Former head coach Nick Saban revealed the program's rising roster payments during congressional testimony:
    • 2021 (First year): $2.7 million
    • 2022: $7 million
    • 2023: $10 million
    • 2024 (Post-retirement/transition): $17 million
    • Recent Season: $24 million
Context and Comparison
    • The Competition: Top-tier programs across college football have operated with estimated roster and NIL investments between $40 million and $50 million.
    • The Approach: Rather than matching the highest dollar-for-dollar bids, Alabama relies heavily on its historic brand value, development track record, and selective resource alignment under head coach Kalen DeBoer....:lol:

Jag, from my point of view, don't believe it's possible for Elsa to look mean. Have watched the Lady Bucks from courtside, and Elsa's face is not made to look mean/bad. Not even sure how it would look irked. Camerawork in the WNBA is better, and some of those gals look mighty fierce, and not someone I would want to tangle with. I'd settle for looking 'determined'. Her jump from frosh to soph was mighty, and here's hoping she makes the same leap to junior. And you're right, some hand strength/upper arms would also serve her well. Cannot believe the women don't have a Coach Mick for themselves. Iterate that the new 5* can/will toughen Elsa up. Going against one another in the paint. Pushing and shoving is part of the game, what the refs let them get away with, but in practice am talking about. PS, am hopeful that Elsa will grow.

Elsa’s the key to everything IMO. She has a really high hoops IQ (and probably general IQ since she’s a BIG distinguished scholar majoring in environmental engineering) and the offense runs well with her handling the ball, setting picks and passing from the high post. If she can finish more efficiently on pick and rolls and be consistently physical in a few less minutes now that depth is available, we could really have something. I also hope she’s put in a lot of work on midrange shooting as being a bit dangerous there would help a lot.

Game Thread tOSU at Texas, Sat. Sept 12, 7:30 pm ET, ABC

Captain Buckeye
He’s not wrong. I think their issue was they lost to Florida who was terrible.

The next 9-3 team to make it will be the first. It absolutely rewards teams who don’t lose games. If you’re scheduling teams like Texas that’s not particularly fair.

If we lose 3 games this year (let’s say it’s Indiana, USC and Texas) it’d be criminal to not be in the playoffs

Maximum tax-free donation amount

NJ-Buckeye
In 2026, the federal lifetime gift (and estate) tax exemption is $15 million per individual ($30 million for a married couple). This is the main amount you can transfer tax-free over your lifetime (in gifts that exceed the annual exclusion) before federal gift tax applies. Any portion used during life reduces what remains available for your estate.


Key related rules:


• Annual gift tax exclusion: $19,000 per recipient in 2026 (or $38,000 if spouses elect gift-splitting). You can give this amount to as many people as you want each year without using any of the lifetime exemption or owing gift tax. These gifts do not count against the $15 million.


• Gifts above the annual exclusion reduce your remaining lifetime exemption. You generally file Form 709 to report them, but no tax is due until the lifetime exemption is exhausted. The top federal gift/estate tax rate is 40%.


• Unlimited exclusions (these do not use the annual or lifetime amounts when structured properly):


• Direct payments of tuition or medical expenses to the provider (not reimbursed to the recipient).


• Gifts to a U.S.-citizen spouse.


• Certain transfers to political organizations or qualifying charities (charitable gifts have their own rules and may provide income-tax benefits).


The $15 million figure (set by recent legislation and indexed for inflation going forward) is unified for lifetime gifts and transfers at death. State gift or inheritance taxes may apply separately in some states and are independent of the federal rules.


These are federal limits only. Exact treatment can depend on your situation, prior gifts, marital status, residency, and how the gift is structured, so consult a tax professional or estate attorney for advice tailored to you. Official details are on IRS pages for estate and gift tax.

Report: Michigan's Warde Manuel to receive $7 million payout after stepping down as athletic director​

Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel will receive a significant financial package after stepping down from his position later this year. According to Front Office Sports’ Amanda Christovich, Manuel’s separation agreement includes a one-time payment of $7 million, along with retirement benefits and reimbursement for legal fees.

Just sayin': Well, $7M + retirement benefits + reimbursement of legal fees = the negotiated rate to keep a fired AD from "blowing the whistle" on scUM..... :lol:

Warde Manuel Will Be Paid $7 Million Buyout After Stepping Down As Michigan’s Athletic Director

Michigan will reportedly pay Warde Manuel a buyout of more than $7 million – equivalent to three more years of salary – when he steps down as the Wolverines’ athletic director in 2027.
www.elevenwarriors.com www.elevenwarriors.com

Angelique Chengelis of The Detroit News reported Saturday that Manuel will receive a buyout worth $7,143,346, minus tax withholding, within 21 days of the end of his tenure as athletic director. He will also receive a retirement contribution of $108,000 and all retiree benefits, including health plan coverage, as Michigan waived its typical service requirement of 20 years. Additionally, Michigan will pay Manuel’s $82,000 in attorney fees and will give him the typical benefits provided to a former athletic director, including tickets and golf privileges.

Just in case any other Big Ten schools were lining up to hire him, Manuel’s settlement with Michigan also includes a non-compete clause that prevents him from working as an athletic director or senior athletic adviser for any Big Ten school in the next two years.

Manuel will also remain with Michigan as a special advisor to the president, as Michigan president Domenico Grasso has asked Manuel to help the university implement reforms in the athletic department – the athletic department he has led since 2016 – that include strengthening its compliance office, enhancing human resources operations, establishing consistent investigative policies and procedures, improving processes for reporting and escalating concerns, strengthening athletics leadership and organizational structure, and expanding student-athlete health and wellness support

Just sayin': Needless to say the scUM Athletic Department has a lot of skeletons in it's closet and Manuel knows exactly where to find them.
