If your inheritance is cash, it is not taxable and is not reported on your tax returns.

For your further information, I have included the following:

If you inherit property that produces income such as interest, dividends, or rent, that income is taxable and reportable on your Federal and State returns.

If you have received stock or a house, the sale is reported and income is taxable. If you inherited an IRA (individual retirement account) or a qualified plan such as 401(k), the amount is taxable according to the 1099-R you will receive.
