I have a client, US citizens living in Florida, that have parents in the Dominican Republic who passed away leaving real property and bank accounts to the beneficiary; my client. My client wishes to transfer all proceeds from the property sales in the Dominican Republic to the US as well as the cash in banks located there. Is there first a declaration process with respect to those funds? Are there tax implications in the United States to my client? This is conceivably worldwide income resulting from the property sales?
I need help going in the right direction to ascertain these answers. thank you.
