Inheritance taxes are not the same as estate taxes.
 
Inheritance tax is a state tax on assets inherited from someone who died.

Thanks to all for your quick and informative replies.
 
Whatever they are called (inheritances taxes? estates taxes?), I still want to ask:
 
- What if a person has been living in their parents' home and their parents die and they inherit the home?
 
When selling the home, what percentage of the selling price of the home should they expect to pay in taxes?
 
20%? 30%? 40% More?

What state do you live in? Each state is different.
 
Why would you sell it if you're living in it?
 
In WA, it would be about 2% excise tax; there is no "inheritance tax".
The cost basis of the house is its value the day you inherit it, so
capital gains tax would be near 0 if you sell it immediately.

What if you're moving?

What if you're moving to a place where it's cheaper to live?
