"GRATs are typically structured so that no tax is due, which means the I.R.S. has reduced incentive to audit them," said Mitchell Gans, a professor of tax law at Hofstra University.
"There would be explanations within the appraisals to justify all the values," he said, adding, "Basically, when we prepare these things, we feel that these are going to be presented to the IRS for their review, and they better be right."
1862 The act also introduced the United States' first progressive tax with the intent of raising millions of dollars for the Union.
1862 The IRS originated with the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, a federal office created in 1862 to assess the nation's first income tax, which was to raise funds for the American Civil War.
1862-1863 Slavery was abolished in the US in 1863, one year after the IRS was created.

1981 An auditor insisted the value should be increased by $100,000, to $3 million. (Fred and Donald Trump's property Park Briar)
1981 This fantastical claim - that Park Briar should be taxed as if its value had fallen 83 percent in 18 days - slid past the I.R.S. with barely a protest.

1991 At the same time, he declared to the I.R.S. that Trump Palace was almost a complete loss — that he had walked away from a $15.5 million investment with just $10,000 to show for it.
1991 Under I.R.S. rules, selling shares worth $15.5 million to your son for $10,000 is tantamount to giving him a $15.49 million taxable gift. Fred Trump reported no such gift.
1994 That changed when the Republican Party came into power in 1994 and Newt Gingrich became the speaker of the House. The new majority's main priority was tax cuts, and vilifying the IRS helped its case.
1994 The offices of Moncrief Oil were raided by the IRS, who seized more than one million documents. Moncrief was accused of owing the United States government between $100 million and $300 million.
1995 As it happened, the Trumps' GRATs did not completely elude I.R.S. scrutiny. Documents obtained by The Times reveal that the I.R.S. audited Fred Trump's 1995 gift tax return and concluded that Fred Trump and his wife had significantly undervalued the a
1995 For the Trumps, getting the I.R.S. to agree that Fred Trump's properties were worth only $57.1 million was a triumph.
1995 The I.R.S. determined that the Trumps' assets were worth $57.1 million, 38 percent more than the couple had claimed.
1996 Moncrief and Montex settled with the IRS by agreeing to pay $23 million "for deficiencies in income, excise and gift taxes for taxable periods from Jan. 1, 1989, through Aug. 31, 1994."
1996 The notion wasn't a fringe position within the party. Former Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, a respected mainstream Republican, ran for president in 1996 on a platform of abolishing the IRS.
1997 Indeed, every $10 million reduction in the valuation of Fred Trump's empire would save the Trumps either $10 million in annuity payments or $5.5 million in gift taxes.
1998 During the campaign, Toomey criticized the agenda of the Clinton-Gore administration, specifically plans to modify the Internal Revenue Service.
2000 It wasnt until after Fred Trump's wife, Mary, died at 88 on Aug. 7, 2000, that the I.R.S. completed its audit of their combined estates.
2000 The audit concluded that their estates were worth $51.8 million, 23 percent more than Donald Trump and his siblings had claimed.

2010-2017 The cuts are depleting the staff members who help ensure that taxpayers pay what they owe. As of last year, the IRS had 9,510 auditors. That's down a third from 2010.

As with the Trump Village appraisal, the Trumps appear to have hidden key facts from the I.R.S. Tysens Park, like Trump Village, had operated for years under an affordable housing program that by law capped Fred Trump's profits.

The I.R.S. has long accepted the idea that ownership with control is more valuable than ownership without control.
The I.R.S. recognizes that GRATs create powerful incentives to greatly undervalue assets, especially when those assets are not publicly traded stocks with transparent prices.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is the only federal agency that can investigate potential criminal violations of the Internal Revenue Code.
The IRS has never been a popular cause on Capitol Hill. But Democrats and Republicans long shared a grudging consensus that the agency’s basic work of tax collection deserved protection.
The story has been different for poor taxpayers. The IRS oversees one of the government's largest anti-poverty programs, the earned income tax credit, which provides cash to the working poor.
The Tax Court specializes in adjudicating disputes over federal income tax, generally prior to the time at which formal tax assessments are made by the Internal Revenue Service.
Their basic strategy had two components: Get what is widely known as a "friendly" appraisal of the empire's worth, then drive that number even lower by changing the ownership structure to make the empire look less valuable to the I.R.S.
There is no shortage of clever tax avoidance tricks that have been blessed by either the courts or the I.R.S. itself.
They said the conduct described here represented a pattern of deception and obfuscation, particularly about the value of Fred Trump's real estate, that repeatedly prevented the I.R.S. from taxing large transfers of wealth to his children.
This is why the I.R.S. requires families taking advantage of GRATs to submit independent appraisals and threatens penalties for those who lowball valuations.
