How A US Citizen Reports gifts from a foreign person and distributions from a foreign trust

[@JoseRodriguez-ey9jd]

Does it apply to a bank deposit in a US bank?

[@OrganicToniloves]

Thank you for sharing the knowledge. Can you talk about when the gift from a foreign person involves a US property? For example, the foreign person use his foreign income to purchase a house in the US and then gift it to a US legal resident. What is the tax factors in this case?

I live in the US and I am a US Citizen. My parents in a foreign country (Non US Citizens) recently passed away. Their estate was settled and I was given $6000 (six thousand) as my inheritance. Do I need to file Form 3520?

Thank you for this video. I am looking for information on just the opposite situation. My wife and I are US citizens but my wife was naturalized and gave up her original citizenship. She has one child, a foreign citizen, living in her previous country. When we leave our inheritance, we want that child to get the same as our children in the US who have US citizenship. We would also like to start sharing with them while we are alive. So I need to know if the (gift & inheritance) tax exclusions apply when a US citizen gifts and/or leaves inheritance to a non resident non citizen of the US. Of course that child will have to deal with any tax laws in her own country, a country which taxes the receiver and not the giver. But I would like to know from our US side what the implications are.

What if a it is a foreign irrevocable non-grantor trust that has no US assets. Does the trust or creator or the beneficiaries have to pay taxes if they are US citizens? The video kept stopping so I wasn't sure if it was answered. Sorry

[@jimbaker]

DD generally yes but as always it depends.

Hello Jim, First and foremost thank you for this video. Question on Part IV of form 3520, filling out gifts received: If the foreign gift(cash) resides in foreign bank account and is more than US$100,000, does that need to be filed? Am I correct to assume that only foreign gift(cash) deposited into U.S. bank account requires filing? Thank you for your time. Mike

Hi, if I just got a gift from my parents and are required to fill only page 1 and 6 do I have to send to the irs all 6 pages or just those 2. Thanks.

If foreign gift exceeding 100k usd is given by non relative and non US citizen, is there tax on that?

[@jimbaker]

There is no tax but if the recipient is a US person then the gift needs to be reported. Just no tax.

Does a gift from a foreign grandmother as a check from her US bank account is taxable?

[@JamesBakerCPA]

Hello, with just that information. Yes, it is taxable.

[@chun-weipan6287]

Hi if the cash gift were coming from US private bank from my parents who are non resident alien, will this still follow form 3520?

[@Traveler-PKK]

Is this only if you receive a gift of 100K or more? My wife is getting 20K from her mother in Thailand. Would we have to report this?

[@JamesBakerCPA]

Nope

[@三三有院·花满蹊]

Traveler you need to report it if the money is more than 15,000 per year

[@parsingh559]

Hello, great video! I will be receiving a sum of greater than 100,000 in gifts from people who are not related. The gift amount from each person will be less than 100,000. Am I still mandated to file the form?

[@luisvillarreal5130]

Hello James, thanks for your video. My father is a Mexican National but has a bank account in the US and would like to distribute exactly 200K between my sister and I (100K each). Q1. Can that be treated as a foreign gift? Q2. Do we need to reported since Form 3520 says "more" than 100K not a 100k or more...?
