Illinois.
I was paying alimony (we call it maintenance here) under a 2017 separation agreement/court order. We filed taxes jointly in 2017 and 2018 so was not an issue with regard to deductions.
In August 2019, the divorce was finalized and maintenance amount was adjusted. We are filing separately in 2019. I know the payments for Sept to Dec 2019 are not deductible for me.
But what about the Jan to August 2019 payments which were made under the 2017 agreement?
