The money from your parents is not taxable to you. However, do you have other sources of income? See the link below to determine if you have a filing requirement:

I am a US green card holder and my parents are non us citizen living abroad, we have a joint foreign account holder and every month I withdraw some money from the account. Does it mean I have to report the taxes / foreign bank account to IRS? Account in my name is less than $5000, and I only withdraw some money from that account. Thank you
