Are Alimony Payments Deductible in New York?

bad alimonyAlimony is sometimes also called “spousal maintenance” or “spousal support” payments. Regardless of its name, alimony payments are deductible in New York. However, it is important that your divorce agreement (usually called the Stipulation of Settlement) explicitly states that any alimony payments made are deductible.

You should always make your alimony payments by check and not in cash. You should always keep a record of your alimony payments.

When you submit your tax returns or consult with your accountant, make sure to inform your accountant that you have made alimony payments.
