Property Division and Income Tax
Trusted and Experienced Family Law Attorneys Since 1966
In some instances, recipients of inheritance assets need to pay income taxes on property received. And everyone knows that when you cash out or draw upon 40(k) accounts, taxes and even penalties must be paid. Many divorcing people then wonder, "If I transfer property or receive transferred property during a divorce, are income taxes owed?"
The answer to this important question is no. Stocks, IRA and 401(k) funds transferred to a spouse pursuant to divorce are not a taxable transfer.
