What are the tax implications of selling a Johns Creek home in a divorce in 2026?

Selling a Johns Creek home during divorce still follows the same federal capital gains rules as any sale, though how the exclusion applies can depend on which spouse remains on title and how long each person lived in the home. Georgia's standard transfer tax also applies at closing regardless of the divorce. A CPA or divorce attorney should confirm how your specific settlement affects the tax outcome before you finalize a sale price.
