Learning Objective

  • To identify community property states.
  • To distinguish between community marriage and common law marriage.
  • To know how to apply tax rules for married clients in community property states.

Course Overview

Community property, rooted in Spanish law with influences from Roman civil law and the Visigothic Code, serves as a safeguard for spousal rights. It operates on the principle that both spouses contribute to the marriage in distinct ways, legally valuing these contributions equally. This legal framework aims to streamline contentious divorce proceedings by prescribing a fair division of assets, reducing disputes over ownership and proportions.

It's important to note that community property rules don't enforce a blanket "what's mine is ours" policy. They exclude assets owned by either spouse before marriage or acquired after a legal separation. Gifts and inheritances received during the marriage also fall outside the scope of community property. Furthermore, pre-marital debts remain the sole responsibility of the incurring spouse. In cases where property is purchased using a combination of shared and individual funds, only the portion acquired through joint resources is considered communal.

Practitioners in the field should be well-versed in the intricacies of community property rules, especially in the 11 states where they apply. These states have unique tax regulations for married couples who choose to file separate tax returns. For comprehensive guidance on understanding these rules and effectively managing IRS filings, consider enrolling in our online CPE/CE webinar on Tax.

This Online CPE webinar covers the following key topics:

  • What do we mean by "community property rules"?
  • What states are community property states?
  • Dividing income and expenses
  • Reporting with the IRS
  • A brief history of marriage in the tax code

Join this CE Tax Course will also discuss how the tax code has treated marriage, as community property laws play a large role in why we have "filing statuses" in the modern-day tax code.

Dustin Wong Wong, CPA (US)

Covered all of general bases. I have not stumbled upon a schedule C all by one taxpayer in this respect that has been filed MFS, but if an example of what that would look like on the tax form (Form SE and possibly the allocation form 8958) would be good to see.

Flo Meadows, CPA (US)

Interesting info on the changes in the filing statuses since 1913. Great info on the complexity of tax law, with different states treating items differently.
