What is the name of your state? VA
My wife and I are in the processes of buying a new home. My Mother Inlaw has loaned us $60,000, which has been used as the down payment. We will be selling our current house and then paying her back from those proceeds, prior to closing on the new house. Her Tax Preparer is concerned about her needing to pay a Gift Tax on the $60,000. What kind of paper trail do we need to do, to show the $60,000 is not really a gift?
Thank you !
