My Brother and I inherited the house after the death of our parents. The difference between what they paid for it and what we sold it.....

What your parent's paid for the house is irrelevant. When you inherited the property, you get a step-up in the cost basis that is the FMV of the property on the date the last parent passed. (Not the date you inherited it and titled it to your names.)
