Generally, money or property you receive as a an inheritance is not considered to be taxable income to you. The estate may have to pay an estate tax on the value of the assets in the estate, but you do not pay income tax on the property.
However, if the property you inherit earns income between the date of the person died and the time the money or property is distributed to you, the estate will need to report the income. If those earnings are distributed to you as a beneficiary of the estate, the estate may pass the responsibility for paying the income tax on those earnings to you as well. The estate will file an estate tax return (Form 1065) and will issue a K-1 to you representing your distributive share of the estate's income. You will report that income on Schedule E of your Form 1040.
If you receive property, rather than money, you may also have a taxable gain when you sell the property. The gain is measured by the difference in the sales proceeds you receive and your tax basis in the property.
