Catherine Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Client needs two gift tax returns filed; one for 2017 and one for 2018. Of course we found out about the 2017 requirement when she came to talk about gifts made in late 2018. There were little notes on a sheet of paper about Dec 2017.... sigh. So I've done the returns and those are ready for signature and mailing. However, the 2017 instructions say to mail to Cincinnati OH, and the 2018 instructions (yes, the 709 is ready to print, sign, and send in Drake for 2018) say to mail to Kansas City MO. So whaddo I do? Sent '17 to Cinti and '18 to KC-MO? Or send 'em both to KC-MO (in separate envelopes) if that is now the center handling all 709's?

SaraEA Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I'd send each to the address for that year--they all end up in the same system anyway. I'm assuming no gift taxes are due (are they ever?) With the IRS employees on furlough, I've read that paper returns aren't being processed so no worry about being late on that count either. I did hear that if the shutdown isn't resolved very soon, they may re-categorize most employees as "essential" so they can get them back to work and into training. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I agree with SaraEA, Don't want to confuse the IRS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted December 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Thank you both, @SaraEA and @Jack from Ohio ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max W Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Mail both to KC. It is the current address. https://www.irs.gov/filing/where-to-file-forms-beginning-with-the-number-7 The IRS frequently changes mailing addresses. Mailing it to an old address will only delay processing. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Max is correct. Always use the current address. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
