Does a non US person have to fill in form 3520?

Hey guys, 

 

I received over 100k dollars from my dad back home in Bangladesh. They're all for my college expenses, including tuition, dorm, food, etc. I hear you have to fill out the form 3520 if your gift from a person abroad is more than 100k, but the form says US person. I'm not a citizen, nor resident of the United States. I'm a foreigner studying here on a visa, so I don't think I am a US person. But just to make sure, because I do not want to pay any penalties, will I still have to fill in form 3520? 

 

Thanks in advance!

No, a non US person is not required to fill out this form.  The form is also not required for funds that are paid directly to schools for tuition. 

Should you become a tax resident at a later date, you would then be required to complete the form.
