mass. alimony deduction

stevied · ‎02-08-2023

anybody having issue for 2022 regarding the federal alimony paid (entered on the alimony worksheet) NOT transferring to Mass. schedule Y line 3?

although the taxpayer is NOT entitled to federal deduction for alimony, Mass. didn't change the law (at least not that i'm aware of.......);

functionality worked in 2021 !

You may have to do yourself on the MA return. The following is from MASS,gov

For Massachusetts tax purposes, alimony continues to be deductible by the paying spouse and counted as income for the receiving spouse. Jan 18, 2023
