Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Inherited property is always long-term gain or loss.  The date does not have to be entered but retain the information with your other paperwork for your tax return should a tax authority have a question at a later time.

 

Refer to @MindyB above.  At the question How did you receive this investment, enter I inherited it.

 

Report only your portion of the selling price and cost basis.  As an example, if the property sold for $300,000 with a cost basis of $330,000, if split three ways, on your tax return report a selling price of $100,000 and a cost basis of $110,000.  Retain all your paperwork.
