Gifts of equity, like other gifts, aren't taxable to the recipient. The seller might have to file a gift return. They're allowed to give $15,000 per person each year without having to file a gift return. So, if the gift of equity they gave you is less than $30,000, they don't have to file the return.
If your parents sell you their home for $100,000 and it's worth $300,000, their gift of equity equals $200,000, the difference between what they're selling the home for and how much it is actually worth. A gift of equity is valuable.
Gift tax: A gift of equity could trigger the gift tax, so the seller should follow Internal Revenue Service gift guidelines. For 2024, a married couple can give up to $36,000, and a single person up to $18,000 to an individual per year without being subject to the gift tax.
