Selling a Home — Capital Gains
“What will I owe the IRS after selling my inherited house?”
The tax result after selling an inherited house often depends on the home’s fair market value at the time it was inherited, the sale price, and any selling costs or improvements tied to the property. In many cases, the inherited basis can differ from what the original owner paid, which can change whether there is a taxable gain and how large it may be. The timing of the sale, whether the property was used as a personal residence or rental, and any state tax considerations can also affect the outcome. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.
In your 30-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.
