    A US citizen and resident must report worldwide income. When you sell the house, you must report the profit from your share of house. For US tax purpose, the cost basis of the house is the fair market value at the date of death of your father.
    If you paid taxes in India, you will file Form 1116 to claim foreign tax credit. Your U.S. Tax Return: U.S. Citizen or Resident with Foreign Income
    Did you or your family live in the house for two years in last five years?
