Listen here, when you have a client that pays the gift tax as a donee, fire yourself, your attorney, your secretary, and your mailman because you suck as a CPA


He/she doesn't have a f*cking choice. The IRS has an automatic lien against the property.

Otherwise, drug dealers would just "gift" all their ill-gotten gains to their relatives, not pay the gift tax, and then tell the IRS to go f*ck themselves.

Rare is the scenario where a donee will be forced to pay taxes on a gift because said taxes weren't received from the donor. In the case of complicit or non-complicit tax evasion, yeah they are going to go after the donee, but 99/100 the donee won't pay a dime of tax unless it was stipulated to do so in a contractual agreement when receiving the gift.
