ljwalters Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 According to court documents the Alimony he was paying his x-wife should have stopped in 2013. He continued to pay her for all of 2014 can he still claim as alimony or is it now a gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulldogTom Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I think it has to be an obligation ordered by the court or it is not deductible. Tom Newark, CA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) According to court documents the Alimony he was paying his x-wife should have stopped in 2013.

This is established by the divorce decree. Edited April 13, 2015 by Jack from Ohio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljwalters Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I already told him all that but just wanted to check and make sure I was right. Thanks all Tom I was going to refer him to you next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all Tom I was going to refer him to you next year. Bring it on. He should be nice and happy that the ex is out of the picture and he does not have to pay her anymore. A potentially happy client. Tom Newark, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
