Gift tax return required? Yes.

Deduction on the client's return for the $70K given to the son? Nope. Your client will end up eating the tax on the $110K (unless his son is the Pope or a televangelist).

Nope, no deductions for gifts!   And yes, now a gift tax return is required.

Hopefully your client didn't call and ask you about this prior to doing it and you told him it was deductible.
