An inherited house in Puerto Rico was sold. Received a Form 480.6C. Since this was inheritance, does it have to be reported?

 

Acquired January 2011. It is shared with siblings. About 120,000.00. split three ways.

 

Sold last year. Got about $36,500.00 with almost $5,500.00 withheld.

Yes it needs to be reported.

Inheriting the property wasn't a taxable event.

But gain on the sale of such property is a taxable event.

Gain = sale price minus selling expenses minus basis (date of death value plus any improvements made less any depreciation)
