Hello,
I have a question, hopefully someone can help me out. My original divorce decree is dated 2017. So I have to pay taxes on my alimony. My question is, we had a modification on the alimony amount dated 2021. I still have to pay taxes on my alimony, because that was not modified. But when plugging in my alimony amount, on the first line, I used the total amount a got for 2021 at the old alimony amount, then on the next line, I put the alimony amount given as of the modification in 2021. This is only 150.00 less a month then previous.
The federal return part changes drastically, without checking the "modify box" I go from paying taxes to getting money back way more then what I usually pay. What am I doing wrong?
