About AppraiseItNow's Gift Tax Appraisal Services
A gift tax appraisal establishes the fair market value of property transferred to another party without receiving full market value in return. When gifts exceed the 2025 annual exclusion of $19,000 per recipient, or when closely held assets are involved, a qualified appraisal becomes critical to support Form 709 filings and protect against IRS valuation challenges. Adequate disclosure, including a thorough description, valuation methodology, and supporting documentation, starts the three-year statute of limitations and shields transfers from indefinite IRS scrutiny.
AppraiseItNow delivers gift tax appraisals online and onsite across the United States, covering personal property, equipment and machinery, artwork, business interests, boats, and automobiles. Our mission is to deliver defensible, USPAP-compliant valuations with exceptional speed, professionalism, and client service.
