The estate may have to pay federal and/or state estate taxes. If the state has an inheritance tax, the value of your share may be subject to inheritance tax.
As far as income taxes go, the value of the house is not subject to income tax. But when you sell the house someday, you will have to pay tax on the difference between what the house was worth on the day of death and the sale price. Let's say the house was worth $100,000 on the day of death and five years later you sell it for $150,000. You will have to pay tax on $50,000. (If you use the house as a personal residence, you can take the usual exclusion for personal residences if you meet the qualifications.)
For this reason, you need to know what the house was worth on the day of death. If the estate did not get it appraised, do it yourself as soon as possible. It is possible to get a retroactive appraisal, but the further back in time you go, the more difficult and expensive it gets. If the estate got it appraised, get and keep a copy of the paperwork.
What else can I help you with?
You are receiving a inhairitance from your deceased aunt do you have to pay taxes on the money?
It depends. Generally speaking, something inherited is taxable to the recipient (heir) if it would have been taxable to the decedent.Example: If you inherit an bank account, the interest earned on the account is taxable to you because it would have been taxable to the person who died. The balance that was in the bank account generally would not be taxable (depending on the type of account).Some assets (house & car) have what's called an adjusted basis (original price paid plus other costs). Generally when assets are inherited, the asset has a basis that is equal to what the item is worth (fair market value) when the person died.Example: You inherit your aunt's car. You decide to sell it right away. This is not taxable income because you likely sold it for the same that it was worth when she died. Let's say you also inherit her house and decide to keep it for a couple of years (but you don't live there) then sell it. If the house was worth $200,000 when she died and you sold it for $250,000, then you have to pay taxes on the $50,000 gain but not on the $200,000.There are other more complicated things related to inheriting assets, so you should really talk to a lawyer or CPA if you inherited something and have to decide what to do with it or whether or not to accept the inheritance.
Can you inherit a pension?
Yes you can inherit a pension but the amount will NOT be free of income tax. The taxable amount of the distribution will be taxed to you in the same way that they would have been taxed to the deceased. The taxable amount of the distribution will be added to all of your other gross worldwide income and be subject to income tax at your marginal tax rate.
What is the amount taxable on an inheritance?
Is an Inheritance Taxable? In most cases, an inheritance is not taxable to you, but there are exceptions At some point, you may inherit money or property that, in most cases, is not taxable to you. Life insurance proceeds are included in the deceased person's estate, but are not taxable to the beneficiaries. Bank accounts and other income-producing assets such as stocks are not taxable to you when received, but the income these assets generate is taxable to you. If you are not sure if something was included in the decedent's taxable income, you should check with the administrator or attorney handling the estate to advise you what portion of the income earned on these assets should be included on your personal tax return. You may get a Schedule K-1 for items that are allocated to you from the estate. Be sure to inform your tax preparer of any income you receive from an inheritance because, although in most cases there is no income tax liability, there are some exceptions. If you inherit a pension or IRA, you must pay tax on the amounts you receive just as the decedent would have been required to do during his life. Only the spouse of a decedent can roll over these types of funds tax free into a plan in her name and treat it as her own. If you inherit a pension plan or IRA, contact your tax professional as soon as possible to discuss your options regarding the withdrawal of the money. Savings bonds can also be treated in several different ways, so be sure to provide any information from the estate to you tax preparer. Have you ever heard of the term "stepped-up basis?" This means that your investment in inherited property is considered to be the value as of the date of death. When you sell property that you inherit, you only pay tax on the difference between the amount you sold it for and the value of the property as of the date of death (or six months thereafter, as determined by the administrator of the estate). There can also be a loss if you sell the property for less than this date-of-death value. Your tax professional will need to know the date-of-death value to determine the gain or loss. The administrator or the attorney should be able to provide you with the value of the property so that you can correctly report the sale.
