The appraised value was $125,000 and the net sale price was $125,900.  Do I need to report this on 2021 return?

yes it needs to be reported. but where to report it 1041 or your 1040? if the property was owned by the estate/trust it reports the sale and then the executor/trustee has the option of paying the taxes on the 1041 or distributing the gain to the beneficiaries who would then report the k-1 on their return. if the house was distributed to the beneficiaries (title transferred) then reporting would be directly on their 1040s
