Sorting out my mom's expenses...
In 2005 Mom and my sister both sold their houses, and purchased one new house. Mom contributed $190,000 for the down payment, and the house was purchased in sister's name (along with BIL). IOW, Mom gave sister $190,000 which was used for a down payment.
But sister says there was no payment of any gift tax. Should there have been??
