I am going to answer the question as asked, but I suspect it might not be what you really want to know.

There is no capital gains tax on an inheritance. But if you inherited a capital asset and later sell it for more than its value on the date of death (or alternate valuation date set by the executor of the estate), the difference is a taxable capital gain.

Your basis in any property you inherit is reset to its Fair Market Value on the date of death (or alternate valuation date). Your holding period for inherited property is always long term.
