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 In 2010, the estate tax was repealed.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.
