Inheritance & Estate
“I inherited a business, what are the tax implications?”
Inheriting a business can create several tax questions, and the details often depend on the business structure, the date of death valuation, and whether the business is a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or LLC. The basis of the inherited interest, any step-up in value, and how income, losses, or distributions are reported can all affect the outcome. State tax treatment, payroll issues, and whether the business continues operating or is sold also often matter. Recordkeeping around ownership transfer, asset values, and prior tax filings is usually important in sorting out the tax picture. A targeted review with a CPA can turn the uncertainty into a clear next step.
