What is the name of your state? IL
Got some disturbing info from another poster who appears to be very well versed in tax law and without questioning their veracity in any way...and having re read pub 517's section on alimony over and over, I'm very concerned about the current use of "unallocated support" here in IL. and it's impact on potential back taxes. I would therefore like to expand the discussion. I was under the impression that as long as appropriate measures were taken to comply with any childhood contingencies, recapture, death of payee, not designated as child support and not designated as "NOT alimony"...it was tax deductible in a similar manner as alimony. Is anyone else using unallocated support? Any other comments would be appreciated.
