Is your Dad a US Citizen even though he is a foreign resident?

You, as the recipient of the gift have no income or gift tax
issues. The donor of the gift (your father) could have gift
tax issues that may need to be addressed.

You've got it right: the recipient of a gift faces
absolutely no tax consequences. The giver may have to file
a form, which relates to the estate limitations -- but
that's no problem for the person who receives the gift.

My dad who resides overseas would like to give me a gift in
the form of cash. I am aware that gift donors have tax
implications (in the US), but my understanding is that US
recipients of cash gifts do not have any income tax
implications regardless of the amount of the cash gift. Is
that accurate? Appreciate your thinking on this.
