@jyee315 , generally there is no tax impact of moving monies between US bank accounts and international bank accounts of same person. There is also no tax impact of transferring monies between accounts owned by you and one owned by your spouse , even if in a different country ( unless US " Sanctions" are in effect).
Your outgoing bank will indeed raise a SAR ( Suspicious Activity Report ) on all incoming or outgoing transfers/wires on US$10,000 or more, but these are generally just flags and dealt with internally. For transfers of 1M or more , there may be treasury permissions required ( and depends on the country). But again no tax impact.
There is generally no "gift" recognition between spouses, especially when you are transferring monies to buy / acquire joint/ marital properties.
Is there more I can do for you ?
