Transferee liability
If a taxpayer transfers assets to another at a time when the taxpayer is liable for outstanding income, estate, or gift taxes (whether or not determined) and the remaining assets after the transfer are insufficient to pay such taxes, the person who received the assets is liable for the taxes to the extent of the value of the assets received. If there are two or more transferees, each one is so liable.
