I received some shares in mutual funds and ETFs this year as my grandfather's irrevocable trust was wound up after the death of my mother in 2023. I sold some of the mutual funds and ETFs and I am starting to play around with the tax implications using TurboTax. TurboTax is asking how I acquired the the shares: purchase, gift or inheritance. The assets never went through probate and were distributed to me as specified in my grandfather's irrevocable trust from 1940. Maybe this is simpler than I think, but did I inherit the shares when the trustee transferred them to my brokerage account? And does it make a difference in terms of tax treatment?
