If inlaws gave us a house in 2011 worth $49K they bought in 1985 fo $13K. I sold the house this year for $56K. Do I pay capital gain tax for the amount over $49K or $13K?

You will have to use the $13K- Your basis for figuring a gain is the same as the donor's adjusted basis, plus or minus any required adjustments to basis while you held the property.
