OC Flip | Why is child support not a tax deduction and alimony is? Either way the ex spouse spends it as she pleases.? |
Can someone give me more info? Or who to contact. I need to research for an Activist English paper regarding this issue. Thanks! |

hate to say it, but alimony is not always a tax deduction to the payer, and not always taxable to the person who receives it. Also, the ex spouse is not supposed to spend child support as she pleases, she is supposed to spend child support for the welfare of the child(ren). I have enclosed several websites that discuss child support and alimony |

if you have a child it is your responsibility to support the child. What is not fair/right about that? |

THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT STEAL FROM LITTLE KIDS!
That is why child support can not be claimed as a tax deductiable for the spouse that pays it. The ideal purpose of child support money is to help the child(rens) in terms of expenses incurred during their upbring. (school fees, clothes, books, etc). The IRS doesn't enforce how that money is allocated or whether it is properly spent. As long as an amount of money is declared by a Family Judge or Divorce agreement as being for the child, then that amount of money is hands off to taxation. (Sorry, you will not see the taxman taking the lollipop from the baby's mouth.)

Alimony is considered an income, it is a supplemental monetary bonus (like winning a lottery, JACKPOT!!!) that usually a higher income earning ex-spouse must pay to his/her former wife/husband. The IRS deemed this to be tax deductiable because they will tax the recipient for the extra income. By claiming the alimony as a tax deduction, you let them know who has been receIving extra income and who may get a break on their tax return. |

#1- A mother can spend the money however she chooses if it is to provide for the needs of the child. If it means to repair her car so she can take the child to school, YES, If it means using it for rent money so the child will have a safe environment to live in, YES. |

It's the law, very simple! If you don't like it, contact your elected representatives. (But I wouldn't expect any movement on it, it's been that way for decades.) |

Because that is the law. Just remember, when it comes to our tax laws, they aren't necessarily logical or fair, they just are. |

That's just the way it is. The government usually doesn't explain why they pass a tax law. My guess is cuz your kids have to be provided for regardless of whether you and their mother is together. If you were together with their mother, you couldn't take a tax deduction for feeding your kids, clothing your kids, taking them to the doctor, schooling, etc. Why should you get a deduction for paying it just because you and the mom split up. Alimony seems a little different, you supporting a grownup. Maybe just because it's the right thing to do because your ex stayed home with the kids so you could work. I think it's socially acceptable to not support your ex-wife. So maybe the government gives it to taxpayers because of this. Not supporting your kids is unacceptable but you shouldn't benefit financially for doing it just because you choose not to be together with their mother. By the way, there are alot of states that don't allow alimony support. Indiana is one of them. |
