Inheritance & Estate
“I received an inheritance, do I owe any tax?”
An inheritance often raises questions about which taxes, if any, apply at the federal and state level. The answer typically depends on what was inherited, such as cash, investments, retirement accounts, or real estate, and whether the assets later produce income or capital gains. State inheritance or estate tax rules can also vary, and the way the property was titled or transferred may affect reporting. In many cases, the inherited amount itself is not taxed as ordinary income, but the surrounding details can change the outcome. Walking the details through with a CPA is the fastest way to know what truly applies here.
