Joel and his wife Janis, both U.S. citizens, want to elect gift splitting. They reside at 117 Panther Place, South City, NC 28000. Joel had not been married prior to his marriage to Janis in 1966. For simplicity, assume that the Sec. 7520 rate is 4%. Joels transactions, all in July, are as shown below.

During the year Janis gave $40,000 cash to Belinda and $200,000 of stock to her sister Jeanette Johnson. Janis had a $120,000 adjusted basis in the stock. Joel made a $1 million taxable gift in 2000. It was the first and only earlier gift.
