There is no income tax on inherited property. The estate is subject to estate taxes before the property is passed on to heirs though. This depends on the value of the estate at the time the person died. If there is no estate tax problem, you do not have to pay income tax on the property received. However, if you sell any of the property you may have a tax situation on your gains from the property from the value at the date of death until the time you sell the property. You are allowed a stepped up basis in this situation so that your basis is not what your grandfather paid for the property, but the value on the day he died.

If a mother and daughter are joint tenants with full rights of survivorship to a home in MI and the mother passes away can the city assessors office uncap the property value and raise property taxes?
Probably. In general, assessment of a property has little to do with who owns it, but the taxes owed on the assessment may relate to the status of the owner. The fair market value of a property is the primary basis for assessment. In the daughter's case the home also has a "stepped up basis" related to its fair market value at the time of the mother's death, so quick sale of the property will result in no capital gains. The probate attorney in the mother's estate may have more information on the MI answer to this question.

What is a 1033?
The basis of property purchased as the result of an involuntary conversion on which gain is not recognized is the cost of the replacement property less the amount of gain not recognized on the conversion. If qualifying replacement property is received as the result of an involuntary conversion, the replacement property's basis is the same as the basis of the involuntarily converted property decreased by any loss recognized on the conversion and any money received and not spent on qualifying replacement property. The basis is increased by any gain recognized on the conversion and any cost of acquiring the replacement property (Code Sec. 1033 (b) ¶ 29,640, ¶ 29,644).

What is the value of land when husband dies and the land goes to the wife?
That depends on the land itself. Every piece of land has a different value in terms of dollars. Where the land is, what its near, how big it is etc... the land will have to bbe apraised by someone professional. At the time of death, have its value assessed professionally. Then, assuming the property is held JTWROS (joint tenancy with right of survivorship - default for owning property jointly with a spouse) the spouse receives the property outright, with half of the property receiving an increase in cost basis equal to 1/2 of the estimated value, and the other half having the original adjusted cost basis. If that confuses you, contact a good estate tax accountant.
