Taxable income/loss is the difference between the basis of the property and the sales price. If they are identical, there is no income/loss. A sale in the settlement of an estate would generally appear on IRS Form 1041. Its taxability would generally be based on the cost basis, cost of sale including preparation for sale & the sales price. If the sale is more than six months post-mortem an appraisal as to value at date of death and/or six months post date of death would be needed to establish cost basis.

If inherited money has gone through probate hasn't it already been taxed?

Not necessarily Inherited money is not taxable, so the issue is not that it has already been taxed. The IRS does not consider it taxable income. On the other hand, any interest earned on the inherited money during administration IS taxable. That money is considered income and the estate must pay the income tax on it or the estate distributes that interest to the beneficiaries prior to the close of the estate and the beneficiaries have to declare that as income.
