Declaring rental income on inherited property

[emmasmum61]

Hello. Having previously only ever paid tax through PAYE, I now need to complete my very first self assessment for 2016-17. Late, I know, but HMRC have given me three months to complete. I have registered for online self assessment, however, I need to declare rental income to pay tax on any profit, from a property that I inherited. Am I correct in thinking that because of this I am unable to complete the self assessment online as it is an estate income and the online software does not support this? If so, which forms will I need to print and complete from the HMRC website, please? I am finding it all quite confusing at the moment
Many thanks

If the property has been passed to you, it's your income and can be declared as such. If it's still held by Execs then it's their income until it's paid to you.

Many thanks for your reply pawncob
The property is mine as assent is complete so am I able to include it in my ONLINE self assessment?

Yes.

Many thanks pawncob. The term, 'estate income' was confusing me but I now understand what this refers to and as a result, I have today completed my online self assessment and have submitted it
