My ex-wife and I got divorced in July 2007. We both jointly filed our Washington 2006 income tax together. My ex-wife works in Oregon and moved back after the divorce. An Oregon state Kicker check was sent to my house with both of our names on it. My ex-wife says she talked to the Oregon revenue office and claims it's all her money. Is that true?

My husband and I have stocks and bonds invested and want to cash them in. Do we have to pay a capital gain tax on the cashing in? He is retired, and I am not working; we did not pay income tax this year of 2008.

A client owned a rental property in 1997 and did not take advantage of the suspended loss allowed on disposition rule when filing returns for that year. The client took the loss on his 2005 return when he had other passive income, but the return is now being audited and the loss for the 1997 sale property is being disallowed. Are there any court cases where taxpayers were allowed to take the losses in a future year, and what are the options for the client given the current audit situation?

Our father's house in New Jersey was sold by the estate 13 years after his death to one of our siblings for $465,000 more than its value at the time of his death. The estate does not exceed $650,000, and the proceeds will be divided equally among the 6 surviving children. Does the estate owe NJ capital gains tax, and if so, what is the rate?
