You do not need to include the gift amount as income in your 1040 tax return. You will need to mail in Form 3520 and your 1040 together.

Thank you Dave. Can I file my tax return (1040) electronically and send form 3520 by mail?

No. These would need to be mailed together. This is an IRS requirement.
