Form 709 is used by individuals to report transfers subject to the gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes and to compute these taxes. IRS uses the information to enforce these taxes and to compute the estate tax.
Schedule C was added to Form 709 to incorporate the statutory provisions for the portability of the unused spousal exemption amount for estate, gift and generation skipping transfer tax enacted by the Tax Payer Relief act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-312), Title III, section 303 and was included in the 2012 form after the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112-240) Title I, Section 101, made the amendments of the 2010 act permanent. These changes resulted in an increase of 108,615 hours due to new statute.
