Yes it possible would have to pay some federal income tax on any gain from the sale of this land. This will depend on how long you have held the land after it was inherited and your adjusted cost basis of the land when it is sold and the use of the land before it was sold.

How can you sell landlocked land?

Land cannot legally be landlocked. Go to the deed office and research the history of the land and you'll find land cannot be sold landlocked. A right of way has to be included in the deed. Check all the history and you'll find the original land owner who sold it and bought it that it has a right of way. You may have to hire an attorney to get the right of way back like it originally was.


Do you pay tax on sale of deceased mothers house?

That depends on a couple things: what taxes do you mean? estate or property taxes? Most states have property taxes, which must be paid regardless of the status of the owner. In 2010, the estate tax was repealed. So, no taxes should be due on the home to transfer it to your mother's heir(s). IRAs in an estate would be handled differently, since the income is tax deferred. Complicating things slightly: if you inherited the house but didn't sell it immediately, you would have to pay a capital gains tax on the increase in the value of the house. Your "basis" in the house would be its value at the time you inherited it; you subtract that from what you sold it for, and pay tax on the difference. If you inherited it 15 years ago, that could be substantial.

No. This should be treated as a capital gain/loss. If you bought the land for $20,000 and sold it for $17,000 you do not have any income or a gain. On the contrary, you have a $3,000 capital loss which can be used to offset some of your income and decrease your taxes.
