    Bobby's taxable gift will amounts to $686,000

    Explanation:

    The bobby taxable gift amount is computed as:

    Discount = Fair market value - Selling Price

    where

    Fair market value is $2,000,000

    Selling Price is $1,300,000

    Putting the values above:

    = $2,000,000 - $1,300,000

    = $700,000

    This amount will be treated as a gift which will be eligible for the annual exclusion and therefore, creating the taxable gift amounts to $686,000 for the year.
