I have inherited non-US foreign corporation shares from my father, and then exited it (and got a payout). Do I pay tax on it, and if yes - which form to use? Thanks.

The inherited shares were less than 50% of the corporation (my part was 1/3 of total company shares). I was elected co-director of company, along with other 2 co-directors, none of us had direct executive rights (all decisions had to be taken unanimously by all co-directors together). I have decided to exit the corporation, and settlement was reached with other two co-members (co-directors), for a payout to me, based on the fair market value of the shares. My exit was completed in March 2021

Yes, you will pay taxes on it.  You will enter it as a sale of investment property. To enter the sale click the following:

  • Federal
  • Income
  • Show More next to Investment Income
  • Start next to Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other
  • Select Other
  • Walk through and answer the questions.  You will be asked how you received this investment.  You will select Inherited, then enter the rest of the information.
