If the $65,000 is the gain related to the sale of your home only, it is likely that it is not taxable. A seller who owned and used a home as a principal residence for at least 2 of the last 5 years before the sale can exclude from income up to $250,000 or gain ($500,000 for joint filers).
A seller otherwise qualified to exclude gain on a principal residence who fails to satisfy the 2-year ownership and use requirements may calculate the amount of excluded gain by prorating the exclusion amount if the residence sale is due to an employment-related move, health, or unforeseen circumstances, which can include divorce or separation.
Aside from the sale of the home, if the $65,000 is related to the settlement of other assets, a spouse who transfers property in settlement of a marital obligation is not required to recognize any gain as a result of the property's appreciation. Additionally, the transfer of property in settlement of a divorce is not considered alimony.
