I am not convinced with the answer given by Turbo Tax Employee. The US tax rules (in best of my knowledge) says that If a foreign citizen/residents want to send a gift (cash etc) to a US Citizen/legal resident and amounts will be less than $100000 then there is no US tax requirement but in case amount exceed $100000 then US Citizen/legal resident have to report in Form No. "3520" to IRS. But I advise always file form 3520 (whatever the amount) to support of your bank account trail for future reference. There will be no tax at all in the above situation.
