Have a bank acct. w/my dad. He sold his house, funds will go into this account. Is this income for me? Would this be an inheritance if something happens to him? In CA.

Funds from the Sale of your dad's property going into a joint account with you would NOT be counted as your income if you are not a part owner of the home. It is your father's transaction and during his closing process (sale process) the proper documentation regarding the buyers/sellers will be completed. Please see the below link for some helpful information regarding home sales for your dad:

To determine if this money would be classified as an inheritance in the unfortunate event of his passing, you should contact an attorney.
