If you just inherited a bag full of money, no.

If you inherited a tax deferred account like an IRA, 401k, or pension, you may have to pay tax when you take the money out.

If you inherited property such as a house or stocks, you may have to pay taxes on the growth in value between the date of death and the date you sold the property.

If you inherit US Savings Bonds, you may have to pay tax on the interest when you cash them in, including interest earned during the life of the deceased if the deceased was not declaring the interest annually on his or her taxes.
