My Father just gave me his house, currently valued at $50,000.00, as a gift. How much will he have to pay in gift tax?

Asked by a user in San Antonio, TX - 10 months ago.

If gift taxes or estate taxes are an issue due to prior gifts, and assuming he will stay in the house for a few years, you may want to investigate the use of a QPRT (qualified personal residence trust).
