I stated it is deductible for the payer and charged as income to the recipient, unlike child support which is neither deductible nor chargeable. We have no state income tax, we don't believe in taxation here, except upon visitors. Here is your original quote in pertinent part: "Alimony is not taxable income, it's not even a deduction." I beg to differ. That is a correct statement for child support not alimony.

Child support is not taxable, nor is it deductible. I am 100% certain these are the IRS rules. (There are certain exigencies which would make alimony non-deductible, but they are certainly the exception rather than the rule).

Mrs. Meanie makes zilch and has since our first child was born. I've asked her if she wants to work part time when the kids are in school. She wasn't enthusiastic about it. Why should she be? She currently gets to spend it without having to make it - who wouldn't want that?

A lump sum in lieu of periodic payments, I believe, is not deductible - part of the IRS definition of "alimony" includes a requirement that it be periodic payments.

That's the traditional answer, but a law firm which billed its client ten of thousands for the research came to the opposite conclusion.

It probably doesn't count, but I obviously made more money than him while he was in med school. I actually like working. But, a full-time job, all the housework, and all the cooking is too much for me. Working from home part-time (very, very part-time) allows me to still be home with the young kiddos.... and it helps keep me sane. |
