What property is subject to inheritance tax? All real property and all tangible personal property of a resident decedent, including but not limited to cash, automobiles, furniture, antiques, jewelry, etc., located in Pennsylvania at the time of the decedent's death is taxable.

Who files an inheritance tax return? The executor of the estate files one inheritance tax return, which lists all the names and tax identification numbers of people and organizations that received an inheritance from the estate.
