Answer

There is no inheritance tax due to the IRS. Presuming your father was a FL resident or in Jordan - there is no State inheritance tax due too.

If your Dad's estate was over $3.5 mn (and he died in 2009) than his estate may be subject to estate tax.

When you sell the property- the gain on sale of the property will be taxed to each of the beneficiaries based on their pro-rata share. The gain is calculated as Sales price minus the selling expenses minus the fair market value of the property as of the date of death of your father. This gain will be taxed in US. There will be a credit available for tax paid to Jordan to some extent on such gain so that the gain is not taxed twice.

He died in 2000 and now we are selling it in 2009. So we would have to pay taxes depending on the gain in the FMV from 2000 to 2009?

Accepted Answer

That is correct.
