    Inheritance Money
    I think I've read the answer to this question already, I just want someone to reiterate what I understand, so I will ask the question again.

    My ex husband received money from his mothers estate. The amounts were: $5000.00 then $5000.00 a couple months later, then $3000.00 a couple months after that. Should he claim the money on his tax return this year? All funds were received during 2007.

    Thanks!

    Negative!

    Inherited money is NOT subject toincome taxes, either on the federal OR state level.

    AtlantaTaxExpert's response is correct. Not sure how much was your ex-mother-in-law total estate. The one that may need to pay the estate tax was your ex-mother-in-law's estate by filing form 706. The exemption for 2007 is $2million. Any estate less than that will not be subject to any tax.

    Yes, as AtantaTaxExpert said your husband does not pay any tax. Does not need to report this income or file any form.
