Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@sulz  assuming you are US citizen/Resident, 

1. Your transferring of US$100K  will result in SAR being raised as a routine matter but it is not a tax event and nothing else is notable in this transaction.  ( you probably told your US bank that is is to buy property in India )

2. The amount resting in an account  (in India ) that you have control ( signature authority and/or own/operate) will require you to file FBAR form   ( FINCEN for 114).  This is because  this will mean that your account value is equal to /more than  US$ 10,000 at sometime during the tax year.

3. Depending on your filing status  ( single/ married  ) you may also come under FATCA and therefore report owning a bank account / financial assets  in a foreign bank  -- this is form 8938 along with your tax return.  Again this is not a tax even  , just reporting requirement.

4. Depending on the  use of the property you may have to file a schedule-E with your return , if you rent out the property during a tax year.

5. If you received a gift from a foreign person/estate of more than US$100,000, you have to file a form 3520 -- not a tax even but reporting is required.  If you gave a gift to someone , more than the free amount per year per person, then you have to report a gift return form (form 706 )-- not a tax event NOW but counts towards your  life time  tax free amount.

 

Is there more I can do for you ?

 

Namaste
