Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Hello rocket051!
We are sorry for the loss of your mother. Inheritances are usually not considered as income for federal tax purposes unless there is any subsequent earings. When selling an inherited property, the basis of the property is the fair market value on the date of decedent's death. For your case, the price you sold may be closed to the market value since it was only one month after she left so you may not have capital gain or inheritance tax; however, everyone is different. Please see the IRS webiste for more details regarding how to report the sale of inherited property.
