My family member is a non resident alien, a foreigner who doesn’t live in US but has a bank and brokerage account in US for investment. He received wire transfer over 100k from a family member in the home country within a year, does he need to report this on FORM 3520 as gift like US person ?
A more general question is that if NRA needs to report at all to the IRS the money from abroad that are sent by the third party a family or a friend(not the NRA himself)? This money is not US sourced income.

@Ice888 money transfers between NRAs, even if into accounts owned and operated by NRA does not come under the aegis of US tax laws. However, the US sourced income ( i.e. growth of the investment ) is taxable income to the NRA ( assuming the person does have a Tax ID ). The transfer into an US account ( whether owned by a US person ( citizen/GreenCard/ Resident for Tax Purposes ) will result in SAR ( Suspicious Activity Report ) as a matter of course.
There is no 3520 or Gift Tax form required.
Is there more I can do for you ?
