Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Divorce Settlement and Taxes
I have recently gone through a divorce and part of the settlement was for me to receive $40,000 for my share of the property. She is going to keep the property and refinance it in her name. My question is this. Do I have to pay taxes on this money? In addition, we have sold a truck, tractor and trailer as part of the divorce. Do I have to pay taxes on this money as well?
