Deductions & credits

@RacknarockGod Yes, it is more than $100,000 per year that has to be reported.  If the amount is $100K or less the gift is not reported to the IRS using Form 3520 or on a tax return.  This reporting requirement of a gift received is only when the giver of the gift is a foreign person.

Gifts received are never reported on a tax return so the IRS will not audit you for these gifts.

 

However, banks are required to report cash deposits of $10,000 or more to the IRS.  This was established to assist in money laundering criminal investigations.
