Form 3520 threshold

Do you have to file form 3520 if you receive exact 100k? The instruction of form 3520 says you need to file if it exceeds 100k . I assume it does not include 100k exact. But I would appreciate any clarification

    You have to file the 3520 if you receive more than $100,000.

    Thank you! So if you receive exactly 100k then you don’t need to file? I ask this because I heard someone previously answered here that you have to file even if you only receive 100k. Thanks

    Correct, you wouldn't need to file this form if you earned exactly $100,000 or less.
