Do you have to pay taxes on deceased mother's house when it sells
I don't believe you do. You will pay income taxes when you sell the house--this is called capital gains.
No. And if neither house is your main home (primary residence) you will have to report the sale of both houses on your income tax return and be subject to income taxes on the sale of the capital gains on both houses.
At this time your son owns a house and you are paying for the renovations to your sons house and if and when the house is sold your son will have to report the sale of the renovated house on his 1040 income tax return. You do not have anything to do with the ownership of this house at this time. If you and your son are planning on this being a ongoing business operation then you and he should get the operation set up correctly the way that you both agree to do this. When you have any profits someone has to pay the income taxes and it may not be capital gain taxes.
If the house was your main home for any two of the five years before you sold it and you owned the house for any two of the five years before you sold it, the first $250,000 of capital gains is excluded from income. If you file a joint return and the house was also your spouse's main home for two of the five previous years, the exclusion goes up to $500,000. You can use the exclusion once every two years. Any capital gains above the exclusion amount are taxable.

There is no specific time requirement to keep a house before selling it. However, short-term capital gains taxes may apply if you sell shortly after acquiring the property. Tax laws vary, so consult with a professional in your area. Ultimately, the decision to sell depends on personal circumstances and market conditions.
Capital gains are taxes that you pay on profit as a result of selling an asset. Usually you reconcile these when you do your IRS tax returns. You get a credit for the cost of the house (and improvements), land, stocks or similar item (the "cost basis") and so just pay income tax on the remaining amount (the profit). Certain taxes on capital gains are also capped at a lower rate than the highest rate of tax on personal income. For example, if you owned the property for more than one year, you would calculate the tax based upon the "long-term" capital gains rates. Check out irs.gov for more information.
If you sell your home and buy another, you may or may not have to pay capital gains tax based on what how much equity you have, what law is in your state about capital gains tax, and also your economic situation of how you spend your funds.
