IRS Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts, is required if the estate generates more than $600 in annual gross income. The decedent and their estate are separate taxable entities. Before filing Form 1041, you will need to obtain a tax ID number for the estate.

The federal government doesn't impose an inheritance tax, and inheritances generally aren't subject to income tax. If your aunt leaves you $50,000, that's not considered income so the cash is tax-free at least as far as the IRS is concerned.
