Dexter and Helen purchased a house one year after their marriage for $100,000. At the time of their divorce 15 years later, the mortgage had been paid off and the house was appraised as having a current equity of $200,000. The court determined that Helen’s equitable percentage of this asset was 40 percent. Helen “bought out” Dexter’s share of the house by transferring to him another asset worth $120,000. The deed to the house was transferred to Helen’s sole name. Ten years later, Helen sells the house for $280,000. If the capital gains tax rate at that time is 20 percent and Helen is not eligible for any exemption, Helen will owe ______________________ in capital gains tax.
