Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@HS1402 

1. As a US person  ( citizen, Green Card holder or Resident for tax purposes) the tax laws are the same  and you are generally allowed to give a gift of "free amount" per year per  donee without having to report .  For 2021 the "free amount " was $15,000 -- it is not material whether the monies came from US sources  / US bank or is another currency -- since  you are taxed on your world income.  It also does not matter whether the  recipient / donee is a US person or not .   

2. If you are married  then you and your spouse can   each gift $15,000 to a donee without having to report.

3. Any amount above the free amount needs to be reported on form 709 , has no tax effect today  but counts towards  your life long amount when your estate is settled / inheritance.   And this may change significantly by the time  your estate  settlement come up.  So it is nothing to worry about today.

4.  The fact that you have a foreign bank account , suggests that you perhaps you do need to file  FBAR and FATCA forms.   Hope you have been doing this .

 

Is there more I can do for you ?
