Real Estate / United States Tax Laws for sale of property inherited in Poland [10]
I am about to sell inherited property that belonged to my mother and grandmother in Poland ( Krakow) before WWII. They were both Survivors. My question is whom do I speak to regarding US tax laws from proceeds from sale of this property.
Would it be acceptable to post this question on the Discussion group mailing list? I understand that this mailing list is for geneaology. My discovery of this property came as part of my geneaological research. I lived in Poland for 4 months in order to conduct this research.
Where can I post a question about finding tax lawyers who can help me with this question?
I assume I am not unique, as I know that descendants of Survivors do inherit and sell their property in Poland all the time. The question is what do they do with the money? Are they taxed on it whether or not they bring it into the United States?
Thank You.
