I scrupulously filled out a form and paid gift tax on the money I gave my sister in 2024 to help pay for my niece’s tuition; I enclosed a check, which showed up the next month (May) as debited from my account.

A telephone number is given, so I plan to call today, and see if the matter can be straightened out.
