Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I am sorry for your loss and agree with @Mike9241 with respect to basis and professional advice.

 

Consult with a local tax professional and/or legal counsel. You may have an argument that your mother retained a life estate and you get a step up in basis of 100% (Section 2036).
