gifted property

Posted on: 14th Jun, 2010 04:44 pm
Hello, My mother gifted myself and my two sisters a piece of lake property (with no buildings on it) last year. She passed away this year, my sisters and I wish to sell this property. Will we have to pay a "Gift" tax or inheritance tax or capitol gains tax??
Hi momstaxi!

Welcome to forums!

As your mother gifted you and your sisters with the property, you won't be liable for the gift taxes or the inheritance taxes. However, when you sell off the property and earn profit from it, the three of you would be liable for the capital gains taxes.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Hi Momstaxi,

As per the gift tax I would suggest you to consult with a good tax attorney to check out the options or else you can get the information form the IRS website. After the transfer of the property you and your sisters will have to pay the property related taxes and if you sell off the property then you have to pay the capital gain taxes as you will make profit from the property sale.
