What do you do about taxes when being named a beneficiary on a mutual fund account?

I will be receiving a mutual fund account that I was named a beneficiary on. My question is how or if I will owe taxes on it? I’m not sure of the amount of the fund, but if it is transferred into my name what do I do? Or can it be sold off first, and then transferred. What do you know about taxes on this matter? Any suggestions are helpful as to what you would recommend. Thanks.

How are mutual fund beneficiaries taxed?

I am the beneficiary of my father’s mutual fund or IRA. When the money is distributed to me, does the IRS see that as income or as inheritance? How it is taxed?
