Cost basis of inherited property is the market value on the date of death.  So, if:

  • The inherited home was originally purchased for $30,000,
  • But was worth $150,000 on the date of death, and
  • You are one of three who inherit the property,

The cost basis will be $150,000 multiplied by 33 1/3% = $50,000.

 

The 1099-S will reflect your proceeds of the sale of a home.
