If the 200000 is all taxable ordinary income on your 1040 income tax return the maximum marginal tax rate would 35% X 200000 = 70000

It is possible to have some taxable income from an inheritance the source and the type of income that is inherited is what will determine this.

Inherited pension or IRA. If you inherited a pension or an individual retirement arrangement (IRA), you may have to include part of the inherited amount in your income. See Survivors and Beneficiaries in Publication 575, if you inherited a pension. See What If You Inherit an IRA? in Publication 590, if you inherited an IRA.

Expected inheritance. If you sell an interest in an expected inheritance from a living person, include the entire amount you receive in gross income on Form 1040, line 21.

Bequest for services. If you receive cash or other property as a bequest for services you performed while the decedent was alive, the value is taxable compensation.

Go to the IRS gov web site and use the search box for the above referenced Publications.
