Divorce Under Tax Reform: Eliminating Support Payment Tax Benefits and Other Changes

I am pleased to announce that I will be co-presenting with Neil Beaton, CPA and Ben Thomas, CPA of Alvarez & Marsal Valuation Services of Seattle, WA. in an upcoming Strafford live webinar, “Divorce Under Tax Reform: Eliminating Support Payment Tax Benefits and Other Changes” scheduled for Wednesday, April 11, 1:00pm-2:30pm EDT.

The changes implemented by this major tax reform are expected to reshape how family law attorneys address many common issues in their practice. The new law impacts issues like the treatment of alimony, personal exemptions, standard deductions, child tax credits, home mortgage and home equity loan interest, limitations on deductions for state and local tax, increases in the estate and gift tax exemptions, corporate taxes and the related impact on business valuations, expansion of expenses that can be paid from a 529 Plan and many more. One shift with the broadest impact on divorcing parties is the elimination of the tax deduction for alimony. Alimony will no longer be deductible by the payor or taxable to the payee, requiring practitioners to shift their focus to the parties’ after-tax incomes to determine the appropriate amount of support.

We will engage in a live question and answer session with participants, so we can answer your questions about these important issues directly.

I hope you’ll join us.
