What is the name of your state? VA
Hi,
I need some advise for Tax preparation.
I am getting divorce in next few month. Me and my wife are both citizen of India and our divorce case is filed in India. As per our agreement I will be paying one time alimony to her. This will be a fixed amount paid at once at time of divorce case settlement. This amount will be paid in India only. We don't have a property settlement as there is no joint property between us.
I live in USA and will be filing my tax in USA only. My question is can I file amount paid as tax deductible. I know alimony paid to your spouse is tax deductible as per US tax law. I need to know if same rule applies for one time alimony paid. Also do I need to specify any text in my divorce documents for this.
Quick response is very much appreciated as we are in preparation of divorce agreement documents.What is the name of your state?
