If you gave a gift above an amount established by the Internal Revenue Service -- $14,000 in 2014 – to someone other to your spouse, you must file IRS form 709, United States Gift (and Generation Skipping Transfer) Tax Return. If you need to report new information after you file the original return, such a correct Social Security number for the person who received your gift, or the correct valuation of property you transferred as a gift, you must file an amended return.
