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.
