To add to this discussion. My husband worked for a state pension system. He is retired and is required to pay a portion of his pension to his ex-wife. I was under the understanding that this is not deductible--she gets the nice check tax free. To make matters worse, we don't quality for the Covid tax relief as we make over the $198,000, but if you deduct her payments, we are under that limit. I really don't think this is fair.
