inheritance

Hi,

We ( 3Siblings) inherited a couple of  properties when our father passed away.  After probate, the executor/estate sold the properties and equally divided the sale proceeds to his kids.  Is this taxable? Thank you.

    @Sky14  You need to contact the executor of the estate and ask if the proceeds that were sent to you will be accompanied by a K-1 from the estate - marking them as taxable - or if the estate sold the property and posted it on the estate's return meaning that they are not taxable.

    It is taxable. You will pay taxes on the gain not the total proceed.

    Hi Maya,

     

    Thank  you for the response. Could you explain gain vs total proceeds?
