My wife wants to transfer an amount of less than $100,000 to my USA account so that i can deposit that amount into my retirement account. What should I consider? Any tax?
Do I need to worry about reporting to the IRS? Are there better lower-priced transfer options recommended?

Transferring bank funds from one account to another is not a taxable event. You have noting to report to the IRS.

You cannot just "deposit" money into a 401(k) plan, You must be eligible to do so. Please clarify exactly what is happening.

That's fine. Just realize that the most you can contribute as an employee with an elective deferral annually to an employer provided 401(k) is $18,000 in 2017 and $18,500 in 2018 if under age 50. If age 50 or older there are catch-up amounts of $6,000 in both 2017 and 2018.
