Best Answer

Not the inheritor. The estate may need to, if it is large enough. If you sell stock or property you inherit, you need to report the sale, but you will only owe tax on any gain that comes after you inherited but before you sold. The commisions or selling expenses can be subtracted, so same day sales are usually a loss.
