Description
The taxpayer, L. L. Skaggs, was married in January, 1929, and has since been domiciled in Texas.In 1926 he had acquired a building in California, which yielded in the tax year 1934 net rents upon a lease in the amount of $11,468. In 1926 he had acquired also stock in a corporation, Safeway Stores, in lieu of an interest he formerly had in the business. This stock he sold in the tax year 1934, and realized a capital gain of $16,863. In his income tax return he treated both these items as community income and returned only half. The Commissioner held both to be his separate income and assessed an additional tax. The Board of Tax Appeals, 38 B.T.A. 921, held with the taxpayer, and the Commissioner petitions for review.
