Most states do not tax children of the deceased. That is a general statement. Plus, when you received the house, it came with a stepped-up basis. An appraisal when you received the house should allow you to pay little of the other taxes involved with the sale of a house.
Before doing anything, please consult an attorney where you live to obtain more specific information.

Good luck
