Parent gifts a condo to a child, who's been living there for a number of years. Parent files a gift tax return for the value of the condo. Child sells the condo the same year, assuming no gain in value of condo. Is the child's basis in the condo the current value, so gain is $0 or does the child have to recognize mom's basis and pay tax based on that gain?
