1099 payout?

no

A 1099 is USA. The divorce settlement apparently had you living in the home, and your husband still half-owner.

You could not take his name off the deed unless he agreed by signing it over to you. I have to assume he wanted money. The refinancing should have paid your ex-husband off for his share that you both agreed to. He does his own taxes based on sale of half a home. Refinanced in your name and title deed in your name and your ex is no longer involved.

Something seems wrong in the question.

Sorry to disagree the other answers I've seen but I think you would need a 1099, if he had a capital gain on this. From your point of view you refinanced the loan and incurred debt but from his point of view you bought out his half of the equity and this would be a taxable event if he made money on it.

I'mn ot at all sure about this answer, you'd better check with a tax advisor or possibly repost this in the tax section (or maybe someone else will just give a really good answer here) but it sure sounds like a taxable event to me - from his point of view, not yours.

No. Property settlements between divorced spouses are non-taxable.

No, as it is not income, it is equity he already had.

Divorce settlements aren't taxable events.

If you sell the house at a taxable gain, it's all yours.
