Rcal];ls'tate Status DeclaredUnchanged Through Marriage | Real estate acquired by a man and his wife prior to their marriage and sold by thesi after their marriage is not *‘community property,” according to a decision of tne Board of Tax Appeals (John H. Flack vs. Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue, Docket No. 12809. Board of Tax Appeals), a decision which the National Association of Real Estate Boards notes as matter which pre-honeymoon couples may get out pencil and paper and figure upon, with & view to its bearing on the future income tax returns. Construing the community groperty tatutes’ of California, in which State the case arcge, the ruling of the Board of Tax Arbeals holds that property: in question being separate property at the time of the marriage remains so. ‘The fact of marriage does not change the status of the property. The ruling is made despite the fact that as claimed by the respondent some of the later payments reducing the amount of the mortgage were made after the marriage out of earnings which were, by the law of California, community property.
