Benjamin Franklin once said that nothing in this world is certain, except death and taxes. One of the exceptions, however, is the transfer of marital property in a divorce. Transfer of marital property is not a taxable event under Section 1041 of the IRS Code. However, embedded taxes can result in a lower valuation. Other specific tax situations that we commonly see in a divorce are:

• Real estate commission on a house
• Episode 65 on What Happens to the House in a Divorce
• Pension is divided in the future. Husband will pay tax.
• Partnership interest
• Stocks and bonds
• Trust interests
• Investment properties
• Stock options

Ryan Kalamaya explains some basic tax situations that can occur in a divorce in the state of Colorado.
