Form 709 is U.S. Gift (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return. It isn't filed by the recipient of gifts because recipients don't generally pay gift tax. If a gift is subject to tax, it generally is taxable to the donor. The annual gift tax exclusion level is $12,000 per recipient for 2008 ($13,000 per recipient for 2009). File Form 709 if you give any gift that exceeds the exclusion level.
