Need assistance in the correct division of a 1099-S that contains the sale of personal property (furniture) and a California Family Code 2640 Down Payment Reimbursement classified as Separate Property.    My ex and I have recently sold our marital home (May 2025) and divorce was finalized (November 2024). Our divorce decree declared that Husband bought Wife out on all furniture and fixtures remaining in the home and provided Husband a $365,500 separate property down payment reimbursement. The house sold for $2,880,000.00. The sale price included through a signed addendum that Husband was to be paid $7,500 for the sale of his personal property (furniture).    What is the proper division of the 1099-S?   Sale Price                                                     2,880,000.00 Husband Sale of Personal Property       -7,500.00               Signed Addendum 2 Husband Separate Property                    -365,500.00          Divorce Decree                                                                       2,507,000.00 Community Real Property Proceeds 1,253,500.00 1/2 of Communal Real Property Income Escrow to distribute 1009's as follows: Wife 1,253,500.00 1/2 of Communal Real Property Income Husband 1,253,500.00                        1/2 of Communal Real Property Income                  7,500.00                                 Sale of furniture                  365,500.00                            Separate Property Income                  1,626,500.00   Total
