Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Form 3520 Part IV is the form you use to report an inheritance received from a foreign person in excess of $100,000.  Once it is reported then you are correct that it is not taxable to your spouse UNLESS it is property or stocks or bonds, etc., that she has received and she sells that property at a gain.  In that instance the gain would be taxable to your spouse.

 

Sorry for your loss.
