No, you do not file a Form 3520. That is only required if you receive a gift from a foreign individual who is not a US citizen or US resident and the amount is greater than $100,000. Since your sister is a US citizen the Form 3520 is not required.
A gift received from an individual is not reported on your tax return, regardless of the amount received.
Since your sister is a US citizen she will be required to report the gift given if the amount is greater than $14,000 to a single individual. She will need to file a Form 709 with the IRS to report the gift given. There will not be any gift taxes owed if her total gifts given in her lifetime are less than $5.49 million (2017). TurboTax does not support Form 709.
