The first $12000 of your gift are tax free and estimate gift tax (using quick tax method) will be
($900,000 - $12,000) x 39% - $44,200 = $302,120
Gift tax exclusion for 2006 is $345,800, so you will not pay any gift tax and still will have unified tax credit
$345,800 - $1,260 - $302,120 = $42,420
You need to file IRS form 709 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f709.pdf
Some details may be found in IRS publication 950 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p950.pdf
