Distributions from the principal are generally not taxable to beneficiaries. However, there are exceptions: Inherited Retirement Accounts: Certain distributions, like those from an IRA held in a trust, may trigger tax obligations.
Capital gains tax is assessed on the profit you make from selling an asset. When you inherit property, the taxable gain is calculated based on the stepped-up basis—a tax provision that adjusts the property's value to its fair market value (FMV) at the time of the original owner's death.

This includes gifts of future interests, which are not subject to the annual exclusion. Special Cases: Nonresident aliens must also file if the transfer is subject to U.S. gift tax laws.
Since California doesn't impose an inheritance tax, there is no need for an inheritance tax waiver form. Inheriting assets, whether it's property or other forms of wealth, does not trigger an inheritance tax liability in the state.
The Gift Tax Return (Form 709) and the Estate Tax Return (Form 706) document your estate planning and provide the “Paper Trail” for the IRS and state departments of revenue. Most of the estate planning techniques must be reported on these tax returns.
