Who is required to file Form 3520? US persons (citizens, resident aliens, and residents for tax purposes) must file Form 3520 to report gifts and inheritances received from foreign individuals (also known as nonresident aliens) and foreign estates.
Use this form to authorize a reporting agent to: Sign and file certain returns; Make deposits and payments for certain returns; Receive duplicate copies of tax information, notices, and other written and/or electronic communication regarding any authority granted; and.
Every foreign trust is a grantor trust if it has a U.S. donor and a U.S. beneficiary. The grantor is treated as the owner of the trust. The U.S. owner of the foreign grantor trust is subject to U.S. income tax on the portion of the trust income he or she is considered to own.
Generally, the penalty for failure to file an IRS Form 3520 is 35% of the amount of the transaction at issue (i.e., the amount transferred to or distributed from the foreign trust). For late-filed Forms 3520-A, the penalty is 5% of the fair market value of the assets held in the foreign trust at the end of the year.
If you receive an inheritance from a foreign estate or non-resident alien, or gifts from non-resident aliens exceeding $100,000 (USD), then it must be reported to the IRS. This includes the total of all foreign inheritance or gifts received.
