857.0. "Gift to parents and tax write off" by NODEX::CLBMUD::mcgreal (Pat McGreal 297-2285) Tue May 02 1995 12:27

	I recently gave my parents a $8200 so that they could buy a new 
	car. They came up with the remainder. Is it possible for me to 
	write that money off on next years taxes as a gift to a relative?

You can't write off the $8200.  Your parents, however, do not have to 
declare it as income, since it's under the gift limit of $10K per person.
