A gift received from an individual is not taxable nor is it reported on a tax return.
If the gift is from a foreign individual and the amount is over $100,000 then the gift has to be reported to the IRS using Form 3520. This is an information form only - https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-3520
Gift tax is not applicable to foreigners.
Even for U.S. citizens, "Gift Tax" is somewhat of a misnomer. Even though a gift tax return may be required, very few people ever actually pay federal gift tax. The purpose of the gift tax return is usually only to document a reduction in the allowable estate tax exemption.
