Inheritance & Estate
“I got an inheritance, is it taxable for me?”
An inheritance is often not treated the same as ordinary income, so the tax picture can depend on what was inherited and how it was received. Cash, investment accounts, retirement assets, and property can each raise different federal and state questions, and the timing of any later sale or distribution may matter as well. The answer can also vary based on whether the estate was still being settled and whether any income was generated after the date of death. In many cases, the key facts are the type of asset, the source of the transfer, and what happens to it afterward. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
In your 60-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
- Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
- Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
- Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
