Legal Question in Tax Law in Pennsylvania

Re: is a small inheritance about 20K taxable?

If the inheritance is in pennsylvania it is subject to inheritance tax. the amount depends on your status in relationship to the person who died. A spouse would pay no tax a child or grandchildren 4.5 % other such as brother sister cousin or unrelated person would pay a higher rate. Yo should contact an attorney for further advice or if an estate was begun the executor or administrator.
