Do you have to pay income on money you inherited from your great aunt?

You don't have to pay income tax on money. You may have to pay income tax if you receive property that has increased in value since your aunt died. You would pay tax on the profit when you sell it. You may have to pay income tax when you take withdrawals from a tax-deferred account you inherited from your aunt (such as a traditional IRA or 401k). You may have to pay income tax on the interest from US Savings Bonds you inherited. Some states impose an inheritance tax (which is different from an income tax). You may have to pay an inheritance tax. If the estate failed to pay any tax that might be due before distributing property to you, the IRS may come looking to you to recover some of the property.
