Inheritance & Estate
“What taxes do I owe on a house I inherited?”
Inherited real estate often has a mix of tax considerations, and the answer usually depends on how the property is used, when it is sold, and whether it was the decedent’s primary residence or an investment. In many cases, the inherited basis is adjusted to the property’s fair market value at the date of death, which can affect later capital gains if the home is sold. Property taxes, local transfer taxes, and any rental income or personal use after inheritance can also change the picture. State inheritance or estate tax rules may matter as well, depending on where the property is located. A targeted review with a CPA can turn the uncertainty into a clear next step.
