How to show house cost basis step up due to death of spouse.

posted

Unless you are selling the property, there is nothing to report on a return. However, going forward, it may be helpful to ascertain your basis now in the event of a sale in the future, or whether the property is converted into income producing property, i.e., a rental property. What was the form of the property ownership? For example, did the spouses own the property as joint tenants with rights of survivorship?
