FAQ FRIDAY - October 10, 2008

Q. We live in Pennsylvania but we have a vacation home in Delaware. Is this subject to Pennsylvania Inheritance tax?

A. When a decedent dies and owns real property in Pennsylvania, they must report that on a Pennsylvania Inheritance Tax return. When that real property is outside of Pennsylvania, you do not have to include it on the PA Inheritance tax return. Delaware does not have an Inheritance Tax in 2008.
