Divorced in MS in Nov 2002. I understand that CS is not a tax issue. Settlement does not address tax liabilities regarding spousal support, so I am working on the theory that it's income for her and deductible for me. Do I owe her a Form 1099 for the court ordered amount paid? The support order was dated in June, but the divorce not final until November. Should I deduct the entire amount, or only that portion after the final decree?
Thanks!
Thanks!
