I posted this a while back but can't seem to find the thread.
Person A wants to sell Person B a house that is worth $1 million for $200,000.
Assuming there's no illegal activity with this transaction and Person A really just wants to sell it for $200k (because he/she bought it for $170k initially), would the government deem this a gift? Is this considered tax evasion? Can this transaction happen with no problems?
