There is no income tax on inherited property. The estate is subject to estate taxes before the property is passed on to heirs though. This depends on the value of the estate at the time the person died. If there is no estate tax problem, you do not have to pay income tax on the property received. However, if you sell any of the property you may have a tax situation on your gains from the property from the value at the date of death until the time you sell the property. You are allowed a stepped up basis in this situation so that your basis is not what your grandfather paid for the property, but the value on the day he died.
No, you pay inheritance tax and, ultimately, property tax as the owner.
If you are the named beneficiary of your sisters life insurance policy then there is no tax. If her policy however paid into her estate and you inherited the funds, then it would be taxable.
Yes, you will have to pay taxes. You can take the money lump sum and pay the taxes this year, or you can roll it over into an inherited IRA and pay the taxes as the money is distributed. You will be taxed at your normal marginal tax rate.
income taxes ? no insurance payments are exempt
You don't have to pay income tax on money. You may have to pay income tax if you receive property that has increased in value since your aunt died. You would pay tax on the profit when you sell it. You may have to pay income tax when you take withdrawals from a tax-deferred account you inherited from your aunt (such as a traditional IRA or 401k). You may have to pay income tax on the interest from US Savings Bonds you inherited. Some states impose an inheritance tax (which is different from an income tax). You may have to pay an inheritance tax. If the estate failed to pay any tax that might be due before distributing property to you, the IRS may come looking to you to recover some of the property.
i personally dont think you would have to pay sales tax on a house that you inherited unless you are paying for the utilities lighting and all the heating and cooling soo yes and no.

Yes it possible would have to pay some federal income tax on any gain from the sale of this land. This will depend on how long you have held the land after it was inherited and your adjusted cost basis of the land when it is sold and the use of the land before it was sold.
If there are no other funds then the property must be sold to pay debts. The debts of the decedent must be paid before any property can be distributed to the heirs. If the heirs want to keep the house then they must get together and pay the debts.
I don't believe you do. You will pay income taxes when you sell the house--this is called capital gains.
I don't know if you are talking about income tax or property taxes. The answer is the same for both. In renting the house out you will pay income taxes on your gain from rental income and you will pay property taxes for the ownership of the property.
No but if you owe income tax and the income tax people claim that you owe them money they are in a position to sell the house you bought from under you to pay for the income tax you did not pay. other then that there are any number of charges levies and taxes associated with the purchase of a house. House buying is a real cash-cow for the government and the legal professionals.
No you do not pay any taxes on it but the estate may have already paid taxes if the estate is large enough
Yes you would have some rental income that you would be required to report on your income tax return.
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.
