Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi, @Jhutchin ! You may find this TurboTax article helpful. To answer your question, inheritances are not considered income for federal tax purposes, whether you inherit cash, investments or property.  However, any subsequent earnings on the inherited assets are taxable, unless it comes from a tax-free source. Hope this helps, please let me know if this raises additional questions!
