Inheritance & Estate
“I got a business through inheritance, what are the tax implications?”
An inherited business can raise several tax questions, and the answer often depends on the type of entity, how the business was held by the person who passed away, and whether it is being kept, sold, or restructured after the transfer. In many cases, the value at the date of inheritance, the basis of business assets, and any income generated after the transfer all matter. Payroll, partnership, or corporate records can also affect how the transition is reported. State filings and ownership changes may add another layer, especially if licenses or registrations are involved. A CPA who reads your specifics can usually tell you, in plain English, where this lands.
