Get your taxes done using TurboTax
In that case @DianeW777 's answer above is correct. Your cost basis is 50% of the amount that your parents originally paid for the house plus 50% of the value of the house on the date of your dad's death. Add those two together and subtract it from the amount you receive from the sale of the house and you will have your taxable gain. Any money you choose to give to your siblings is a non-tax -deductible gift.
