No, monies that a beneficiary receives are free of tax. One thing though, when a person dies, their representative collects all assets and pays off any taxes due to the IRS, state and municipalities first, later taking care of all debts unpaid, then the money and assets left over are divided among the beneficiaries according to the will.
