You will need to be more specific. In general, gifts you receive are not reported on a tax return. Gifts are not taxable. But is your aunt giving you a very large amount of money? Depending on how much your aunt gives you, you might need to file a form 3520 for the gift from a person from a foreign country.

If the gift is over $100K you must file a 3520 form, which is not supported by TurboTax. That form has to be filed separately from your income tax return.

No. That form is a federal form that is filed with the IRS, not the state.
