Inheritance & Estate
“I just inherited money, what taxes do I owe on it?”
Inherited money is often treated differently depending on the source of the funds, the type of asset involved, and whether the inheritance came from cash, investments, retirement accounts, or property. In many cases, the inheritance itself is not taxed the same way as ordinary income, but later tax consequences can arise from interest, dividends, capital gains, or distributions tied to the inherited assets. State rules can also vary, and estate records, account statements, and beneficiary designations often matter when determining the tax picture. 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:

- 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.
