You would each report your share of the proceeds in the investments section of TurboTax and your basis (or cost) would be value at date of death plus improvements you may have made after date of death.
It would qualify and Long Term Capital gain (due to inherited) regardless of how long you held it.
Make sure all selling expenses are allocated out among you.

Short is taxed at ordinary rates, and long term is taxed at more favorable rates. TurboTax will compute the Long term when you answer that it was inherited, and/or it is shown to held for more than one year. The following may help. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/4790215">https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/4790215</a>
