Indian and American taxation

My friend daughter is in USA.  she and her husband file returns for their income in USA jointly.

Her father in India without her knowledge invested money from his earnings in her name  fiin and fixed deposit and purchased a land constructed a house and is selling the same and he is filing her income tax returns in India.

Sadly her father died last year and now she came to know about the investment .  they approached the same auditor to file in india and he asked tax filing number in USA. 

Query is

2.what will happen from USA tax Purview

Quick Summary
A US-based couple has discovered undeclared Indian investments and property sales made by the wife's late father in her name. They are seeking advice on how this impacts their US tax filings, potential penalties, and how to rectify the situation, especially since tax has already been paid in India. The discussion touches upon the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) between India and the US.

Once go through the D.T.A.A between India and U.S.A.

As Tax is paid based on origin, it shouldn't be a problem only mismatch of details will be an issue because Global income needs to be declared in India.
