capital gains on parents home

Hi all. 

 

My parents bought their house #1 in 2015 for 400K. Last year they sold house #1 for 550K and bought house #2 for 800K. In both transactions, the houses were listed under me and my brother since my parents wish to pass the house on to us. 

 

My question now is:

1. Would my brother and I have to owe capital gains on the 150K? If yes, how do my brother and I report it? 

 

 

Thanks in advance!

What do you mean by listed?  Whose names were on the actual deed for home #1 when it was sold?

them having put you on the deed is costing you money in the future.

It is better to in inherit the property via their will.

How could your parents sell the house if their names were not on the deed?
