Reply to comment by texascook2007 in Dmv and gifting a car by ssgonzalez11

Thanks! I know gifting is possible but I’m looking for options similar to the spouse exception for long term, but unmarried, partners to avoid the tax.

It looks like that’s not possible. :/

What's the value of the car?

According to KBB it’s around 2500-2800. 10+ years old, not in great shape, but it is still a daily driver.

Your friend can just gift it. As long as total gifts from one individual to another in 2023 are under $17k there's no tax. Just need to go through the process of transferring the title at the DMV and pay the registration fee.

Thank you. That’s a piece I was missing and didn’t know, and it will really make her life easier.

Thank you for taking the time and your kindness!!

I don’t think what that person said is valid. Or rather, I don’t think it’s related to sales tax on a vehicle. Pretty sure they are talking about federal level taxes and gifts.
