The 1996 Form 709 is filed separately from your annual income tax return. It needs to be submitted by its own deadline, which is typically April 15, without attaching it to your Form 1040. Filing this form separately ensures that it is processed correctly as a gift tax document. For ease and accuracy, consider using services from US Legal Forms when filing.
