    Determine the cost basis of the gift, then report on 8949 or 4797 depending on how the property was used. To determine the cost basis of a gift, go to https://www.irs.gov/faqs/capital-gai...le-of-home-etc

      And, for the gift she gives her sister, Form 709, if required, and any state version, if required. Also, she might want to make sure her father filed Form 709 for the backhoe gift he gave her, when she asks him about his cost basis.
