Date Of Gift Value Form
Use a Date Of Gift Value template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What the Date Of Gift Value Form records
The Date Of Gift Value Form records who made or received a gift, what was transferred, when it occurred, and the stated value. It gives donors, recipients, and professional reviewers a structured record to complete and sign. The form itself does not determine fair market value, create a tax filing deadline, or replace IRS guidance. Use signNow to upload the document, detect or add fields, route it to the required signers, and preserve the completed form with an audit trail under ESIGN and applicable state electronic-transactions law.
Who uses this gift form
Individual donors
Individuals documenting a noncash or cash gift can complete the donor, recipient, description, date, and value fields, then preserve signed evidence for their tax files. The form should not replace advice from a tax professional when valuation, gift-tax treatment, or reporting obligations require specialized analysis.
Professional teams
Financial services, legal, and accounting teams can route gift records for review, collect signatures, and store a searchable audit trail. Teams should separate document execution from valuation conclusions and apply IRS rules to the underlying transaction rather than treating signNow as the issuing authority.

Protect private gift information
Personal taxpayer identification numbers may appear in completed gift records, requiring restricted access and controlled document sharing. Missing consent evidence can weaken disclosure records when donors or recipients receive electronic copies of the signed form. Broad workspace permissions may expose gift values, transfer dates, or relationship details to unauthorized team members. Unredacted attachments can reveal financial information beyond the fields needed to document the gift transaction.
Risks from incomplete records
Consent gap
Tax evidence issue
Attribution dispute
Record weakness
Retain gift form records
Retention depends on the tax purpose and underlying transaction; preserve the signed form, supporting valuation records, and audit trail under the applicable authority.
3 years — tax records
6 years — substantial understatement
Indefinite — fraud or no return
Reproducible — electronic records
State period — if longer
Troubleshoot gift form signing
Resolve field, consent, authentication, retention, and legal-scope questions before relying on a signed Date Of Gift Value Form.
Upload the original Date Of Gift Value Form as a PDF or supported document, then inspect signNow’s detected fields. Add missing donor, recipient, value, date, or signature fields manually before sending; field detection does not validate the gift information itself.
The Business plan includes templates, audit trails, mobile apps, and legally binding eSignatures at $8 per user per month with annual billing. Business Premium adds bulk send at $15, while Enterprise adds advanced signer authentication at $30.
For a consumer-facing electronic record, obtain consent under ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. §7001(c), and confirm the signer can access the electronic format. Use signNow’s signing flow and retain the completed record and audit trail.
Use signNow’s SMS authentication or another configured verification method when stronger attribution is needed. ESIGN and UETA do not require one universal authentication method, but the record should show intent, attribution, and reliable retention.
SignNow’s audit trail records signing activity, timestamps, and document history. Export the completed Date Of Gift Value Form with its audit trail, then apply the retention rule relevant to the underlying gift record and tax purpose.
A completed electronic form can support a transaction when intent, consent, attribution, and reproducible retention are established under ESIGN and applicable state law. Wills, testamentary trusts, and court orders remain outside ESIGN’s general coverage.
