Why does the payer of child support have to pay taxes on it? |
I've always been confused with this idea, it doesn't make sense to me. We live in PA. My husband pays his ex child support for their two kids. Why is it not tax-deductible? In the big picture, I don't think it's fair that the person paying has to pay the taxes on that amount of money, and the recipient isn't obligated to claim a dime of it. I have a friend who is a family man and a very devoted husband. About five years ago he became a child support paying dad through the state of Delaware. He believes that your subject matter hasn't been addressed because the only concern of the court system is to keep unmarried mothers of the welfare rolls. Since mandatory garnishment in most states relieves the state of that burden, they aren't concerned with the effect it has on the finances of the person paying. He believes that we all should pay taxes on what we earn...... but he should at least be able to claim his children for tax purposes every other year. I can only tell you what I told him five years ago (I work in the legal profession) this form of being shafted by this system is not unlike a form of affirmative action..... in other words he is over compensating for what many of our mothers never got. I agree with you that it's not a fair system..... and as long as all those judgmental butt holes out there who slam every ex-husband are making their voices heard... it likely will not change. Remember that many more women than men file for divorce and there is nothing the recipient can do to stop them whether right or wrong. they assume that the person receiving the child support is paying the majority of the expenses (usually this is untrue but thus is the system) Therefore, they get the deduction, while the guy who's already paying.. pays again... sucks.... Because you're paying for other children too! Isn't it great that 14-17 year old girls are having kids?!?!?!?! Good luck! first of all child support is 2 take care of the child. if he did not want 2 pay child support or 2 pay the taxes on it he should have kept his pants on. he's not giving charity money.. it's money for his children... Well, think of it this way. If he were still living with the kids' mother and buying their food and clothes directly, he wouldn't get a tax break for it, so there's no reason to get one just because he's divorced. he paid taxes on it once already, when he earned it. its a trip huh?? |
