When is a gift-tax return generally due?
AI reviewed
Generally by April 15 of the year after the gift — April 15, 2027 for gifts made in 2026. If April 15 falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the return is due the next business day. Extensions and special situations can change the date — for example, if the donor died, a qualified tax professional should confirm the deadline for that year.
