Buying your parents home taxes, gifts, step up?

Don't know where you get the term "transfer" for this situation of a property sale.

You unearthed my post from last May and I had to go back and see what you were even talking about. In any case, a "transfer" can encompass a sale or gift between related parties. You asked where I got it? Perhaps it was in law school.

Hey my bad! I responded to this before I looked at the date.
Hope everything turned out ok.
