State tax filing

California does not tax an inheritance. 

The Federal government does not tax an inheritance. 

 

ONLY Capital Gain would be taxed. 

 

Your first post indicated that you had over 250,000 in Capital gain. 

 

If that is true, 3,000 tax on a 250,000 capital gain is only .012% which seems pretty low considering California taxes Capital Gain at the regular Income tax rate. 

 

Your Capital gain is the selling price less the Fair Market Value on the date you inherited it (less improvements and selling fees) 

If you ever held it as a rental, you need to recapture depreciation.
