Do you have to pay capital gain taxes on a home that was willed to you then you sold it?

Yes, you may have to pay capital gains taxes on a home that was willed to you if you sell it. However, when inherited property is sold, the cost basis is "stepped up" to the fair market value at the time of the original owner's death, potentially reducing the taxable gain. If you sell the home for less than this stepped-up basis, you may not owe capital gains taxes. It's advisable to consult a tax professional for specific guidance based on your situation.
