Divorce Tax questions.... no, not for me...
A friend is going thru a divorce. She has hung in there for many years.
Nonetheless, the time has come and her settlement offer is partly funded by her ex's IRA / 401K. The balance will be a check (with money borrowed from his inheirantence). She has not had any income for many years, and they always filed 'married / jointly'; farm losses offset income. Final date is mid-November.
Is settlement taxable? Will state taxes apply? Should her filing status be an issue? What should she expect this year / next year?
I know, she is looking for a tax guy, her attorney won't go there. But I was wondering about the PP brain trust opinion.
TIA.
