Do you have to pay tax on mother's house you inherited and sold?

If you inherit something of value -- instead of earning it through work -- you pay no tax unless the value of what you inherit is greater than $5 million. In 2013, the amount you can inherit tax-free goes down to a "mere" $1 million. In other words, if you earn money by working for it, you pay income tax. If you inherit the money, you pay pretty much nothing unless the amount is truly huge. To some politicians, this difference in tax rates is called a "flat" tax. Others propose that those who get their money, not by working for it, but by inheriting it, should pay no tax at all -- which these people also insist is a "flat" tax rate.
