- Alicia and Rafel are in the process of negotiating a divorce agreement to be finalized in 2019. They both worked during the marriage and contributed an equal amount to the marital assets. They own a home with a fair market value of 400,000 (cost of 300,000) that is subject to a mortgage of 250,000. They have lived in the home for 12 years. They also have investment assets with a cost of 160,000 and a fair market value of 410,000. Thus, the net worth of the couple is 560,000 (400,000 250,000 + 410,000). The holding period for the investments is longer than one year. Alicia would like to continue to live in the house. Therefore, she has proposed that she receive the residence subject to the mortgage, a net value of 150,000. In addition, she would receive 17,600 each year for the next 10 years, which has a present value (at 6% interest) of 130,000. Rafel would receive the investment assets. If Rafel accepts this plan, he must sell one-half of the investments so that he can purchase a home. Assume that you are counseling Alicia. Explain to Alicia whether the proposed agreement would be fair on an after-tax basis.arrow_forwardSamuel and Annamaria are married, file a joint return, and have three qualifying children.
