    Hello ann:

    It's not as simple as that. As a matter of fact, it can't be answered unless you provide a lot more information, like how much the inheritance was. However, that information alone isn't going to help. I'm just snoopy.

    You need the services of a CPA who is familiar with YOUR finances.

    Ann, find a good accountant. A CPA. Or find an Attorney who specializes in Estates. Your husband needs to file an Estate Tax return. That is the only way you will know if you owe anything or not.
