State (not federal) inheritance tax question?

Question

In 2005, I was temporarily living and working in Michigan, but a legal permenant resident of New York, when a person in Florida died. I inherited $5000, which I received later that year, while living in NY and unemployed. I filed a federal 1040, an NY resident income tax return and a MI non-resident income tax return, and reported the income from employment in MI on all three. (I also claimed a credit on the NY return for the duplicate state income tax on the income from MI.) Do I have to report the inheritance to any of the three states, and to which states (if any) do I pay inheritance tax? (Do not worry about the estate taxes due to the federal government; someone else is responsible for that.)

dk01237... is wrong. Inheritance is NOT reported on the federal 1040, for example.

Bostonia... is probably right about the tax laws. He is wrong about what I knew when I asked the question. I never lived in Florida and was only in Michigan for a few months, so I do not know their laws well. However, this happened two years ago, so I might have known when I filed, and forgotten about it since then.

Answer 1

Neither FL nor NY have an inheritance tax. Nor does MI, but even if it did you would not report it there as you were not a legal resident of MI. Therefore it does not need to be reported to any state.

But you already knew that, didn't you? ;)

Answer 2

there's a federal sources tax. The sources could pay it in the previous any sources are allotted. If each and all the daddy owned substitute into decrease than $1M, there heavily is not any sources tax. (there is not any federal inheritance tax on the recipient.) For Illinois, their sources tax seems to kick in at $2M.
