Other Above-the-Line Deductions Alimony: Payments that are not classified as child support and are made to a spouse pursuant to a divorce decree usually count as alimony. These payments are deductible from your gross income unless they are "made under a divorce or separation agreement executed after Dec.

Now, for a divorce or separation agreement that was executed after December 31, 2018, or a court order entered after that date, alimony is no longer deductible from income to the payor spouse, and no longer taxable as income to the recipient.

Unfortunately, for those who are paying child support payments, the IRS does not allow you to deduct those payments from your income on your tax return. The payments are not considered taxable income to the parents receiving the payments either.

Since child support is never deductible, there is no way for a spouse to up their child support payments in hope of a tax advantage that does not exist. Speak with a California child support attorney about other tax credit options that may be available in your case.
