Section 1041 is not currently avaiable to gay couples, but that may be changing!

Income tax on gains from “sale” of property when splitting up assets, gift tax implications, etc. These are all issues that married couples do not have to worry themselves with when they get divorced. Of course there is plenty of other issues to worry about during a divorce but…this is a tax blog after all!
