If you, as a US person, receive a gift of more than $100,000 from a foreign person, you are required to submit a Form 3520 to the IRS.  Form 3520 is an informational form only.  You do not report a gift received on your personal tax return, regardless of the amount received.

IRS Form 3520 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f3520.pdf

I am expecting funds to be less than $100,000, does that mean I do not need to report it to IRS ?
