- I'm hoping for some help concerning the following...
-
- I was divorced in 1991. In February of 1992, as part of my divorce settlement,
- my x-wife purchased my half of our house deed for an amount well less than half
- of its purchase price.
-
- I've been told that I cannot declare this as a capital gains loss even though
- I essentially did lose in the home investment. Must I then report this
- settlement amount as income for 1992?
-
- I'd appreciate any responses to this.
-
- Thanks,
- Bill Schurman
