Ignoring any possible reasons, (like primary home) that the gain would otherwise be exempt.... The basis of the property in your hands is the amount of the value from the inheritance/estate. You would have a gain from that amount (plus any additions of course). This is actually a great thing...say the person you ingherited it from paid 100K....the gain of thew 300K (100-400), is NOT taxed. This is called a stepped up basis.
