Tax consequences?
my brother and I share 50/50. Put about $30k into it and are selling it. What will we be responsible for tax wise? Asking $200k.
TIA

Your basis in the property is the value at grandmother's date of death. Add to that whatever you put into it (so 30K). Was 30K split equally between the two of you?
Sale price less basis less selling costs is your gain. Will be long term capital gain.
This assumes you haven't been renting out the house or living in it since she died.

Yes equal share. Gubment has to get their share I guess.

Like was said earlier, the basis of the house is the estimate value at time of death. So Selling Price - Stepped up basis = Taxable income. In most cases if you sell in a short amount of time there is no taxable event

Just make sure the inherited value = sale value and you should be good
eta: That's the easy way but keeping track of all your home improvement costs would make it inherited value + improvement costs = sale value = no tax
