Yes. You will report the sale in the same section in which you report stock and other investment sales, some of which are reported on Form 1099-B. As you go through the questions you will be asked if you received a Form 1099-B - answer no. Unless you held it long enough for it to be investment property or used it as rental, it will be a personal item. Be sure to indicate that you inherited the house. That will tell the program that it is long-term, regardless of how long you held it.
