I just sold my mom's home, which I inherited last year. We had the house appraised at date of death. I sold the home for $60000 more than that appraised amount. How do I compute the capital gains taxes that I will now owe? My understanding is that I will need to pay the capital gains on just the amount over the appraisal at date of death. Please clarify as I was going to send an estimated payment so I don't get charged interest for not paying in a timely manner.
Thank you!

If $60,000 is your net long-term capital gain (long-term because the property was acquired from a decedent), then you can use TaxCaster (link below) to get an idea of your tax liability. Note that TaxCaster has not been updated for the 2021 tax year.

You will not owe a penalty for underpaying your estimated tax if:
1) The total tax shown on your 2021 return minus the amount of tax you paid through withholding is less than $1,000.
OR
2) You pay at least the smaller of 90% of your 2021 tax, or 100% (110% if your adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2020 was more than $150,000 ($75,000 if your 2019 filing status is married filing separately)) of your 2020 tax.

sorry for your loss. you are correct. the holding period is automatically long-term. the gain is the sales price less sales expenses less the Fair Market value on the date of her death
