When you receive money from the Texas State Comptroller's Unclaimed Property Department, do you owe the IRS Income Tax on that money?


ANSWER


The BIDaWIZ Team's Answer:

It depends on the source of the money. Usually, the answer is no, because

the source is inherited, or life insurance, proceeds, which are not subject to taxation.

A common exception, to this rule, is if the source is from an inherited retirement account,

from a decedent.
