Deductions & credits

The transfer of funds to you, itself, is not taxable.  However, if the transfer exceeds $100,000 (U.S.) and it is being deposited into an account in your name only, it would be a reportable gift from a foreign person.

 

However, it should not cause any tax due (unless your parents are in a very small group of "covered expatriates", which doesn't seem like it applies here.)   You can learn a bit more about that reporting here: Gifts from Foreign Persons.  

 

After the money is transferred, any income that it generates in the form of interest, dividends, or capital gains is taxable income to you.
