Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi @robbrewer12 !

 

In California, there is no state-level estate or inheritance tax. If you are a California resident, you do not need to worry about paying an inheritance tax on the money you inherit from a deceased individual.   If the inheritance produces income, there may be a tax obligation.  Here is a good reference:

Hope this helps!
