I bought an apartment in Russia in 2008 under my mother's name, and I paid for it and renovations with wire-transferred gifts totaling around $200K. In 2013, my mother transferred the apartment to me as a gift, which was tax-free in Russia. Now, I'm considering selling the apartment for $200-250K, which would be taxed at 13% in Russia. I plan to wire the remaining sum to my US account. Are there any taxes I'd need to pay in the US, and if so, how much?

My parents want to add me as JTWROS to a brokerage account with stocks, bonds, and funds, that will currently pass to me in their will. We all live in PA. Assuming I don't access any of the assets, does/could this cause a loss of step-up basis for some portion of the assets?
