Is inherited money subject to income tax?
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.

It sounds like what you received was your portion of an inheritance. If that is the situation, based on the facts given, there is no reportable tax occurrence. For inheritances, if what is inherited would have been taxable to the deceased, an IRA for example, then it's taxable to the heirs. Ans Money is fungible...that is indeterminable from each other. How your brother got the money to pay you is irrelevant. He didn't pay you....the estate did. The payment from the estate is not taxable to you...estate taxes are paid by the estate.
Is there a tax on money received from a life insurance policy and if so is the tax paid by the beneficiary or by all who received money from the beneficiary per the decedents wishes?
IT is paid by the one receiving the money. Similar to a ROTH IRA where the money is taxed as it is placed into the insurance policy then only the interest is taxable. if however the money is like a Traditional IRA where it is pretax money then the whole thing is taxable. Then the amount is concidered income and taxable up to 33% of total. IF the money sits with the insurance company and not cashed in and the insurance company doesnot collect interest then the policies is held without interest.AnswerOne of the still remaining, best aspects of Life insurance, (the investment aspect of which has been generally agreed to be poor at best) is that the insurance industry has gotten congress to retain that payouts of life insurance to a beneficiary are NOT TAXABLE. That is also why one should always have their insurance policy payable to a specific beneficiary...it passes very quickly, directly to them, out side of the estate and being outside the estate, is exempt from income estate/inheritance and transfer taxes. (If you make yourself or your estate the beneficiary, you would lose the last advantage,as it would become part of the estate).citations:Amounts received under a "life insurance contract" , that are paid by reason of the insured's death aren't included in the gross income of the recipient (i.e., beneficiary) ( Code Sec. 101(a) ) (unless the policy was transferred for value). The exclusion applies to lump sum payments made at the time of the insured's death, and to amounts paid later to the extent the payment doesn't exceed the amount payable at death. ( Reg § 1.101-1(a)(1)
