I am about to receive around 100K from an advance inheritance from abroad. Although the money is a gift, the way it will be paid to me is via a wire from my parent's company directly to my bank account, and to abide to the local laws it would be considered payment of dividends. Will this money be tax liable in the US?

These European countries have a tax treaty with US with either reduced rate or no tax at all:

Germany
India
United Kingdom (UK) - Tax Treaty...
Italy

Canada
Australia
France
China

Your bank will have to have documentation of where the money is coming from, and the reason why, when the transfer occurs.

The money is coming from a country WITHOUT tax treaty with the U.S. Will the money be taxed even though it is in reality a gift? The reason could be easily stated as "advanced inheritance". Thanks again

Kapharios:

There is NO tax liability for the transfer itself, but you WILL have to submit Form 3520 to account for the SOURCE of the funds.

Given the facts as posted, you will have no tax liability. Just submit the Form 3520 and you will be fine.
