Inherited Property<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When an estate is required to file a federal estate tax return (Form 706), the estate beneficiaries generally will receive a Schedule A (Form 8971) from the executor of the estate reporting the estate tax value of property distributed to them. Certain beneficiaries are required to use this value as the initial basis in the property received from the estate. See section 1.1014-10 of the regulations for more information on the application of the consistent basis requirement to inherited property. For information on the circumstances under which an executor is required to furnish a Schedule A to a beneficiary, see the instructions for Form 8971 and the related Schedule A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generally, the basis of property inherited from a decedent is one of the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you did not receive a Schedule A reporting the estate tax value of property you inherited, your basis in the property can be determined using the appraised value at the date of death for state inheritance or transmission tax purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For more information, see the Instructions for Form 706.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a distribution of inherited property received by a trust, see Property Received from a Trust<\/a><\/em>, later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n A grantor type trust is a legal trust under applicable state law that isn’t recognized as a separate taxable entity for income tax purposes because the grantor or other substantial owners have not relinquished complete dominion and control over the trust. See the instructions to Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts, for more information. If property is distributed to you from a grantor trust, the distribution is considered to be a transfer from the grantor or other owner of the trust. If you are the grantor or other owner of the grantor trust, then the distribution generally has no effect on the basis of the property. If you are not the grantor or other owner of the grantor trust (for example, if you are a beneficiary), then the distribution from the trust is generally treated as a gift to you from the grantor or other owner. See Property Received as a Gift<\/a><\/em>, earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If property is distributed to you from a non-grantor trust you will generally take a carryover basis in the property under IRC section 643. Your basis in the distributed property will generally be the same as the trust’s adjusted basis immediately before the distribution, as further adjusted for any gain or loss recognized by the trust on the distribution. For a trust’s basis in property gifted to the trust, see Property Received as a Gift<\/a><\/em>, earlier. For a trust’s basis in inherited property included in the trust settlor’s gross estate, see Inherited Property<\/a><\/em>, earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n STEP-UP “Valuation” Inherited Property When an estate is required to file a federal estate tax return (Form 706), the estate beneficiaries generally will receive a Schedule A (Form 8971) from the executor of the estate reporting the estate tax value of property distributed to them.
