Expert Solution

Note: Under community property system, all the property is deemed to be community property except when

  • A property is acquired or held by the spouse before marriage or
  • Property is received as gift or inheritance after marriage.

In this case, each spouse is required to pay tax on one-half of income arising from community property and full tax on income from separately held property.

 

Under common law system, a spouse is required to pay tax on his or her actual earnings and property income only.
