Instead of indicating that you inherited the property you could indicate that it was gifted to you or that you bought it. You can then use the date of inheritance as the acquisition date. However, if you do this and you held the property less than a year it will be treated as short-term. I recommend you stick with inherited, e-file your federal return and print and mail your New Jersey return.
