The tax is calculated on the profit made from the sale, which is the difference between the selling price and your adjusted basis in the property.

It's advisable to consult a tax professional for personalized guidance.


Do you have to pay capital gains tax on property inherited from a will?

Inheritances generally do not incur capital gains tax at the time of inheritance. Instead, the property receives a "step-up" in basis, meaning its value is adjusted to the market value at the time of the decedent's death. When you later sell the inherited property, you may owe capital gains tax on any appreciation beyond that stepped-up basis. It's advisable to consult with a tax professional for specific circumstances.
