Question

I sold a house that I inherited in 2023 to our son on Jan 2024 for a house. The sale was financed by us with monthly payments (no down pymt). What type of sale is this?

    You did an installment sale. To report the sale, see What is IRS Form 6252: Installment Sale Income. You will record the basis of the house as the value on the date of death. You must report sale to a family member.

     

    You will each report the interest on your return. You will report the interest earned on Sch B - as if you received a 1099-INT.

    Your son will report the interest in the mortgage section with your name and social as the mortgage holder.
