Claiming equity payment to ex as alimony, seems to fit the alimony rules!

[tranquility]

"Regardless of the provision of any other code section, a transfer of property incident to a divorce settlement shall be a nontaxable transaction" or something pretty close to it.

Since a divorce settlement can include alimony and since alimony is a transfer incident to a divorce settlement, is alimony taxable?

C'mon davew128, when there is no debate on the issue, why muddy the waters? Have you submitted all your e-file's already?

Cash is not property for purposes of that section

No. But my staff person will be shortly.

Although everyone not in is extended, if the paper hits the door in the next 12 minutes, I'll submit it. Tomorrow is the oddest day of the year. I have a ton of stuff on the do-it-later-I-have-a-deadline pile, I know I'm not really going to be very motivated to do it. I think I'll bring in my dog and walk her every hour.
