Alimony

Are my Alimony payments deductible even though I still live in the same house as my 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 a local CPA about this in greater detail.
