You don't pay the taxes, the person receiving the car as a gift does.
Yes, its considered a "gift tax" but you need to pay it im not sure what the rate is but im guessing it takes into consideration the car and the year etc.
in Florida just state tx when registured
There is a $10.00 gift tax but the receiver must also pay a $28.00 title fee and depending on if your gifting a truck or a car the registration fee will vary.
I'm not sure about the State of New York taxes but if the value of the car was $14,000 or over then a gift tax return would be required by the person who is gifting the car and gift taxes would have to be paid. The giver of the gift is responsible for filing such a return and paying the taxes. The penalties are steep on this type of thing so you need to make sure the laws are obeyed on this.
If it is valued at under $11,000 then you dont have to. If it is more than that - either say it is valued under $11,000 or you will have to pay tax - but it is not the person that receives it that pays the tax it is the person giving it away.
The receiver of a qualified gift does NOT have pay any federal income tax on the value of the car as a gift. BUT the receiver will have to pay some taxes to the DMV when the car is registered in the new owner name in the state and to get the new license plates, etc.
Someone has to pay taxes, yes. Contact your local Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
If it's in your name Yes you do.-------------------------------------------------------------------------Yes, the gift is income and must be reported on both your Federal and State income taxes (Local income taxes too if you have those), if its value exceeds the gift limit.The value of a new car will definitely exceed this limit and will have to be reported. A used car may not have to be reported, if it is old enough.Check with a tax professional if you have trouble finding the gift limit to check if you must report the gift income on your returns.
No, you can only give a car to a immediate family member and not pay taxes on the gift. A mother-in-law is not a legall family member.
Federal gift taxes are not paid by the recipient. However, in the rare case where the donor does not have the resources to pay gift taxes they may owe, the IRS might try to recover some or all of the gift from the recipient. Since you posted this question in the Car Buying category: Some states may impose a sales tax on the Blue Book value of the car being transferred. This is a matter of state law and you should check with your DMV for details.
You should not have to pay sales taxes in Florida if it was a gift. Cloud Chaserz
