Deducting alimony paid. Alimony is deductible by the
payer, and the recipient must include it in income if you
entered into a divorce or separation agreement on or be-
fore December 31, 2018. Alimony paid is not deductible if
you entered into a divorce or separation agreement on or
before December 31, 2018, and the agreement is
changed after December 31, 2018, to expressly provide
that alimony received is not included in your former spou-
se’s income. Alimony paid is not deductible if you entered
into a divorce or separation agreement after December
31, 2018.
