inheritance taxes
after 10years, i have been located as a beneficiary to an inheritance. there is a house worth $500k and other land assets and cash, which i don’t know how much yet.
i live in florida, united states, and the money will be coming from Israel. i have already found out there is no inheritance estate tax in Israel, was abolished in1981.
So, will i have to pay taxes in Florida? and if so, how much?
IRS form 3520 since it is over $100,000.
Also form TDF 90-22.1 if you end up with a bank account with $10K or more in it.

There is no federal inheritance tax in the U.S. I am not sure if there is a Florida state inheritance tax.

There are no inheritance taxes in Florida or at the Federal level.
There will be some reporting requirements however. With the amount of money involved you will need to file a Form 3520 informational return. Don’t miss that one because the penalties for failure to file are severe. The return is due at the same date as your Federal income tax return is. Here’s a link to the form: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f3520.pdf Here’s a link to the instructions: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i3520.pdf
You may also have to file a TD F 90-22.1 http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f90221.pdf report if you have signatory authority over foreign accounts with an aggregate value of over $10,000 at any time during the year. This is due by June 30th of the following year. Again, the failure to file penalties are severe, so don’t miss it.

There is no federal tax on inheritance. Most of the states do not tax inheritances. For your state, check at the state web site.
If you inherit a property, your cost basis is the fair market value at the date of death or any alternative date selected by the estate representative. So when you sell the property, you may have a gain or loss depending upon your sale price is more than your cost basis or less than your loss basis.
If you are getting money as gift or inheritance from a foreign country, you may be required to file Form 3520.
