"Ratably" is how I read it. I believe the original post is
referring to the option to spread the 529 gift over 5 years.
See 529(c)(2)(B), which actually uses the term "ratably.".

Pardon me for asking, but what exactly is "ratbly" and why
does it make a difference how long one makes it for? It's a
typo, presumably, but what on earth should be in that
sentence instead?

I am assuming that "more than $1100" should read "more than
$11,000."

The Form 709 is a separate return and is not filed with your
individual income tax return. Just file the Form 709 ASAP.
Don't forget to look to see if a similar state return is
required.

Default How to amend last year's tax -- to include form 709

I bought more than $1100 529 IRA last year for my child and
I was informed it is ok if I make ratbly over a 5-year
period. I just find out that I should have file a form 709,
which I did not do in last year's tax return.

What should I do now? Just file form 709 to IRS? There are
no changes for the last year tax return (amount) for this
IRA. How to amend last year's tax if I forget something?

Thank you for your help!

LIsa
