M mother died in Illinois and only has cash in a bank account. She has no property or no bonds stocks, nothing else. I live in ohio. I will receive 25,000 dollars from her estate once all the bills are paid. her estate is about 120,000 dollars before all bills are paid. After bills she will have about 54,000 left over which will be dived between her two children , my sister and me. Is this money taxable by the irs or the state of ohio. Do I have to declare this money as income, if so how?
