That is the question !
If you live in the house for two of the five years before selling, the IRS exempts sale profit of up to 250,000 if you are single or 500,000 if you file jointly from income taxes.
Depends on how this home was passed down to you. Need more info on whether it was a will, a trust, etc. But if it really is valued at 67, your GROSS proceeds are 68, your gain would be 1k.
If this person was a spouse, see this article: http://irsmind.blogspot.com/2008/07/q-filing-return-for-deceased-spouse.html Hope that helps! Andrea http://www.TaxFacts4U.com

In most cases that will be a responsibility of the estate. The executor is supposed to file taxes for the deceased and the estate.
The penalty is that you may have to pay taxes on any profits that you make on the house because you didn't live there for two years.
AnswerYes. In fact, taxes are usually the number one creditor of an estate and take precedence over nearly everything else. In other words, you would have to sell the house and all the other property necessary to pay the taxes before you could even think about who might get anything left over.
No. A deceased person is not a taxable person. and as such it cannot be filed as taxable person or entity.
Generally, no.
Their estate has to pay any taxes due up to the day they died.
The estate includes the house. The rental income is treated like dividends and interest - something the estate will have to file as income in the taxes, along with the deceased's last paychecks.
