Will the deduction for alimony/maintenance paid to an ex spouse still be deductible on my 2019 taxes like it was for me on my 2018 taxes?
No text available
"The new laws only apply to divorce or separation agreements made or modified after 2018. So, if it was previously deductible and not modified after 12/31/18, then barring any changes, it will be deductible next year.
"Divorce or separation agreements after 2018. Amounts paid as alimony or separate maintenance payments under a divorce or separation agreement executed, or changed, after 2018 won't be deductible by the payer. Such amounts also won't be includible in the income of the recipient" https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p504.pdf
