Smile For 3520

OK so i ve read that a gift from a foreign country resident exceeds 100k, then i must file 3520 form. So ok, lets say that i recieved 200k from my friend or something, then i file that form, and then what??? meaning is it going to be taxable? will irs take some of that? or its just a simple "letting you know that i got money as a gift" kind of thing?

everywhere i've read just says that i have to file that form, but does not say what next.

form 3520

and if gift from foreign person (dad) is less than $100K/yr, then NO filing requirements and NO taxes due?
For example,. my dad owns house in US (hold in Revocable trust), he wants to transfer it to our family.. ,say, a latter each year: "Dear Son, I transfer to you and your beautiful wife each 10% of the house value (which is less than $75K to each person)"

--- so no obligation to IRS?

NoUNLESS hte cumulative amt of the gift(s) of your dad is $5.43M for 2015; however, your dad NEEDS to fiel form 709 as the amt of the gift of $75K exceeds $14K, annual gift tax exclusion amt.

he is non resident alien (foreigner). Is it still 5.4M exclusion? I think NO...

2) If he files form 709... does he owe the taxes to US gov? If he does not pay, they come after me?

#1;then no; the exckusion is for US citizens .
#2) he as a non residnet alien DOES NOT need to file f709 either; He is NOT subject to any tax to US.
