My wife and I are recently married and are filing our first joint return. She is a Taiwanese citizen here on a H1B visa, currently working through the green card process but already a US person for tax purposes (she has a social security number). Her parents, living in Taiwan, have given her a cash gift of about $100k, deposited into her Taiwanese bank account. Can you tell me the correct way to report this through TurboTax?
(a) there are no tax requirements ( not a tax event)
(b) Three reporting requirements:
1. FBAR (with a threshold of US$10,000 on the last day of the tax year) --- file form 114 --on-line only -- at www.FinCen.gov -- this will redirect to BSA-e-file' -- file by 4-15
2. FATCA form 8938 -- along with your return --- covers the bank account where she has signature authority or owns, threshold depends on her filing status and her residency;
3. Form 3520 recognizing the "gift from a Foreign Person/ entity" by a US person -- threshold for reporting is US$100,000 -- TubroTax does n opt support this form and reporting the number of such forms ( 1 in your case ) will stop you from e-filing. You have download the form 3520--a fillable pdf -- and fill and send to the address shown on the form/ instructions.
Is there more I can do for you?
