Alimony - still living in the same house as spouse

Answer:

Generally, alimony payments are not taxable or deductible if you live in the same household as your divorced or legally separated spouse.
But, if you are separated under a written agreement, but not legally separated under a decree of divorce or separate maintenance, then you may claim the deduction.
Speak to your local CPA about the deductibility of your alimony payments.
