Deductions & credits

@Sorelya , an apartment, that means there is no need for FBAR ( FinCen form 114 ) or FATCA ( form 8938 ).  Form 3520 is still required  -- but you do understand that the basis of the  gift ( for purposes of computing capital gain under US tax laws ) would be basis of the donor -- it is usually better ( tax wise ) to receive  as part of inheritance because then the basis is  Fair Market Value of the asset ( hence reduced Capital gain -- US does not index basis as in countries like India  ).

 

Hope this helps
