I inherited money from my parent who died in Thailand. He was not a U.S. citizen or resident. Is this money taxable? Do I have to file any IRS form?
The inheritance is fully tax free, regardless of amount. You do not have to report the inheritance on an income tax return or any other form.

Exemption
A fixed deduction allowed to every taxpayer, except those who may be claimed as a dependent by another person. Extra exemption deductions are allowed for a spouse on a joint return and for each qualifying dependent. A deduction of $3,400 is allowed for each exemption claimed on 2007 returns, but the deduction is phased out for certain high income individuals.
