Alimony
If you paid alimony as part of a divorce or separate maintenance decree, you can deduct the amount you paid. Your payments qualify as alimony if:
- You and your spouse or former spouse do not file jointly
- Payments were made with cash, check or money order
- You are legally separated and don’t live in the same household as your former spouse
- Child support is not part of your payment
- Payments went to your spouse or former spouse
Unfortunately, alimony will no longer be deductible for those who divorce after Dec. 31, 2018, according to the new tax law.
