No. In the United States you do not pay Federal Income Tax on any inheritance. However, there may be inheritance tax on the estate so don't count on getting your hands on all the cash. The government could get some of it depending on the size of the estate. The government simply takes its money before you get your hands on it and not after you get it.

Do i pay MA tax on cash inheritances?

In Massachusetts, cash inheritances are not subject to income tax; however, they may be subject to estate taxes if the total value of the deceased's estate exceeds the state's estate tax exemption limit. This means that while you won't pay state income tax on the cash you inherit, the estate itself may owe taxes before distributions are made. Always consult with a tax professional or estate planner for specific guidance based on your situation.
