In 2015, Ginger Graham, age 46 and wife of Greg Graham, engaged in the transactions
described below. Determine Ginger’s gift tax liability for 2015 if she and Greg elect gift
splitting and Greg gave their son Stevie stock valued at $80,000 during 2015. Ginger’s
grandmother Mamie died November 12, 2014, and Mamie’s will bequeathed $250,000
to Ginger. On March 4, 2015, Ginger irrevocably disclaimed the $250,000 in writing,
and, as a result, the property passed instead to Ginger’s sister Gertie. In 2015, Ginger gave
$100,000 cash to her alma mater, State University. In 1996, Ginger had given ownership
of a life insurance policy on her own life to her daughter, Denise, and in 2015 Ginger paid
the $22,000 annual premium on the policy. In 2012, Ginger deposited $45,000 into a
bank account in the name of herself and son Stevie, joint tenants with rights of survivor-
ship. Stevie deposited nothing. Neither party made a withdrawal until 2015, when Stevie
withdrew $30,000.
