    An inheritance is not typically taxable (unless a retirement account is involved) so there is no need to report the inheritance on your individual income tax return.

     

    You can always check with the executor or trustee for confirmation.

    Again, check with the trustee or executor (as the case may be).

     

    However, cash and stock as an inheritance would not be taxable to you.
