Foreign inheritance

rn22
Level 1

Hello All

Got a client who received a foreign inheritance from her late husband's estate in Australia. The Australian attorney did not send her any tax documents. 

She received over $300,000 which was deposited into her US bank account. The bank showed the transfer as a domestic transfer.

Would like to confirm if this is correct: I need to file form 3520 and the inheritance is non-taxable income.

Thank you for your guidance.
