I went through a divorce in February 2012 and my husband kept the house. His retirement account will be rolled into my 401k and he will need to compensate me a lump sum payment of $125,000. I'm wondering how this money should be treated for tax purposes? This is not for a community property state.

ANSWER

Expert Todd Alexander's Answer:

In general, property settlements in related to divorces are not taxable. This is true for either a community property or a equitable distribution state.
