Sale proceeds of inherited property
My husband inherited his father's home in 2013. It sold on 12/28/15 for $161K. Would I be able to put the proceeds into a self-directed IRA to avoid being taxed on it?

More importantly, talk to a CPA. Your husband's "gain" isn't the gross sales proceeds, it's that minus his basis, which would generally be the fair market value of the property when he inherited it....ie., was valued at $140k when inherited, $21k gain, or so.
