1099-B form Money received was inheritance. How do I report it and is it taxable?

[HelenaC]

Yes, you have to report it and it may or may not be taxable.

If you inherited the shares: The cost basis of inherited stock is generally "stepped-up" to the market price of the stock on the date that the benefactor died. See the information below.

In some rare cases the executor of the estate may have made a special election to treat the stock differently. Check with your executor if you're not sure.
