Best Answer

With the exception of collectibles and/or antiques, cars usually lose value over time. However, if there is a gain or profit from the sale of any vehicle, the gain or profit is taxable and reported as a capital gain on Sch D of IRS form 1040. It is usually taxable on most state and local income tax forms. If the the taxable income reported on the federal return is transferred to the state/local tax form, then there is no need to report it on the state/local return since it is included on the federal return.

Do you pay tax on a gift that you then sell?

For federal income tax purposes, you would not pay tax on the gift itself, but you would pay a tax on the increase in value (its appreciation) from the time you inherit it until the time you sell it. As far as state income taxes, that depends on the particular state you are in, so you have to check that out with someone familiar with the tax laws of that state.

Do you have to pay income on money you inherited from your great aunt?

You don't have to pay income tax on money. You may have to pay income tax if you receive property that has increased in value since your aunt died. You would pay tax on the profit when you sell it. You may have to pay income tax when you take withdrawals from a tax-deferred account you inherited from your aunt (such as a traditional IRA or 401k). You may have to pay income tax on the interest from US Savings Bonds you inherited. Some states impose an inheritance tax (which is different from an income tax). You may have to pay an inheritance tax. If the estate failed to pay any tax that might be due before distributing property to you, the IRS may come looking to you to recover some of the property.
