I'm not an attorney, and you should get professional advice. But from my reading, you might owe a capital gains tax on any increased value of the house from the time of its purchase by the person from whom you inherited it. This would be true if you got the house through a Will. However, if that person created a trust and put the title of the house in the name of the trust, you do not owe capital gains tax on any past increase in value.

Do you pay tax on sale of deceased mothers house?
That depends on a couple things: what taxes do you mean? estate or property taxes? Most states have property taxes, which must be paid regardless of the status of the owner. In 2010, the estate tax was repealed. So, no taxes should be due on the home to transfer it to your mother's heir(s). IRAs in an estate would be handled differently, since the income is tax deferred. Complicating things slightly: if you inherited the house but didn't sell it immediately, you would have to pay a capital gains tax on the increase in the value of the house. Your "basis" in the house would be its value at the time you inherited it; you subtract that from what you sold it for, and pay tax on the difference. If you inherited it 15 years ago, that could be substantial.

Do you have to pay tax on mother's house you inherited and sold?
If you inherit something of value -- instead of earning it through work -- you pay no tax unless the value of what you inherit is greater than $5 million. In 2013, the amount you can inherit tax-free goes down to a "mere" $1 million. In other words, if you earn money by working for it, you pay income tax. If you inherit the money, you pay pretty much nothing unless the amount is truly huge. To some politicians, this difference in tax rates is called a "flat" tax. Others propose that those who get their money, not by working for it, but by inheriting it, should pay no tax at all -- which these people also insist is a "flat" tax rate.

Do you have to pay capital gains tax on property inherited from a trust?
No. Capital gain tax is a tax that is assessed when an asset is sold. The passing of an asset by inheritance (one received by the laws of intestacy when a decedent dies without a will) or an asset distributed from a trust does not constitute a sale; thus, the tax is not triggered. The tax is triggered when the property, inherited from a decedent or as a distribution from the trust, is sold. Assets owned by a decedent (or his revocable trust) get a new basis when the decedent dies, equal to the asset's value as of the date of death. If you sell the asset for more than the basis, then the tax is payable on the sale price, minus the basis. On the other hand, if an asset is owned by a trust, is sold by the trust, and proceeds are received by the trust, the trust must pay the capital gain tax.
