Supplemental Judgements

user17715633804 · ‎February 19, 2026

Do I need to file a 1099 to my ex husband for a supplemental judgement and money award for unpaid taxes? We divorced in 2016 and he is now asking for unpaid taxes from 2014. The judgment was awarded in 2025.

thanks!

You don't need to create 1099s for personal payments. Also, payments made in settling a divorce are not taxable to one side or deductible to the other side. If you had divided the taxes in 2014, it would not be income to him or a deduction to you, and it is not now.

If the judgment specifically contains interest that you owe him in addition to the tax amount, he is supposed to report the interest as taxable income, but since you are not in the business of lending, you are not required to issue a 1099-INT.
