Question I recently received money resulting in an overage from a delinquent tax sale for property. This money had been sitting for several years in my late husbands name and I was only recently made aware of it. As I was the executor of the estate, the check was made out to me. My question is, would this money be taxable of my federal and state (SC) income taxes?
Answer Sheila,
I do not understand. IS this money from a real estate escrow account?
If it is , then no it would not be taxable. If it is proceeds you received from a tax sale, then the sale would have been recorded then and this is just residual nonies.
