I purchased a home in Florida 2006 and had my parents added to the deed. The note was and is solely in my name. In 2007 I had my parents removed from my deed because I was thinking of selling. Now in 2010 I receive a letter and form that I must fill out from the IRS stating that I may owe tax. When I called the lady at the IRS she stated that I need to see what the unpaid balance of my loan was at the time of the quit claim and Divide that by 3 then take that amount and x's by 2 and that is the amount I will be taxed on. What I don't understand is how can they take a loan that is in my name only and tax me again. My parents have had nothing Financially with this home. And on top of it they are charging me interest during this whole process
Hi marinamike,
As far as I know, you are liable to pay a property transfer tax while you and your parents sign a quit claim deed. I guess you haven't cleared off that taxes and thus, the IRS is asking you to pay it off. I would suggest you to contact a tax expert in this regard and he would be able to help you in a better way.
Thanks
