    Transfer money internationally in to the us
    I sold my primary home in the UK and want to have the proceeds of the sale wired into my account in the US. I am not a US citizen but would like to buy a home here. Will I have to pay taxes on the money if I wire it into a US bank ? The amount is approx $230,000

    There are NO transfer taxes in the United States; however, you MAY need to file Form 3520 to explain the source of this income.

    Will the bank or the IRS notify me if I need to submit that form ?

    The bank MAY mention it when you do the transfer, but it is your responsibility to submit the form if requirec.
