cash inheritances are not taxable. property inheritance is however. Cash is most certainly an asset of an estate, cash being "property". That is why, for example, in New York, a bank will seal a safe deposit box if it finds out that the box holder has died and another box holder (or an heir) will have to go to court to get an order opening the box (so the tax authorities can make sure the decedent did not have a lot of "taxable" cash or other assets, like jewelry,there). That being said, unless the cash and other assets of the decedent (excluding joint assets, like those in a spouse's name too) exceed $2,000,000 (for a decedent who died in 2008) , there is no federal estate tax. There may be a state estate tax (if the aount is large enough) since New York, for example, only allows an estate of less than $1,000,000 to be exempt from the estate tax. (You would have to check the law in the state where the decedent lived to know the amount). Of course, since it is "cash", who would know?
