What is the name of your state? Illinois
My Mom, a widow, sold her house in May 2006, three days later she passed away. A week later, at the closing, we found out she had added my name to the title in 1993 after my Dad passed away.
They gave us two checks for the proceeds of the house, one in my name, and one in my Mom's name, with my name being the inheritor.
She had a will and left everything to me (I am her only child)
I have never resided in that house.
Will I have to pay taxes on my portion of the proceeds or on the entire portion or on any portion?
Thanks, JaneWhat is the name of your state?
