Deductions & credits

@robingadams  assuming that you are  a US Person ( Citizen/ GreenCard/ Resident for Tax purposes ), 

 

(a) the requirement to file a 3520  is with a threshold of US$100,000.   And it is per  tax year.  Thus  for the fgure quoted you do not have to file a 3520 for the tax year 2024 ( since the amount received in 2024 is US$80,000 )

(b) For 2025 tax year  and assuming that  your share is  US$100,000 or more , yes then you would have to file a form 3520 recognizing the  cash   inheritance.

(c) Note that  if the  landed properties  are transferred to the inheritors prior to sale and then the inheritors  do the  sale, then you would have to recognize  the sale of the property on your return  -- forms 8949 and Schedule-D-- with the gain  being taxed   (  your basis in the property would be FMV divide by the number of in heritors ).

(d) Note that any Foreign Taxes paid on Income ( Not any other  taxes ) would be eligible  for Foreign Tax Credit.

(e)  Because you have bank account ( s) in the UK  you would come under  FBAR  ( form 114 at FinCen.gov ) and FATCA ( form 8939 along with your return ).

 

Does this help ?   Is there more I can do for you ?
