She's a rescue, from a Lab Rescue organization that made us complete an 8 page application :-).

My husband's Christmas gift (because we spend way too much money of the dog) was a DNA test.

Turns out she's 50% German Shepard (?), 17 % German Short Hair Pointer, 16% Springer Spaniel and ONLY 17% LAB. She looks like she's a poorly bred black lab crossed with a greyhound because of her extremely long legs.

We love her so much it's scary at times.

Thanks for noticing.. I think she is absolutely gorgeous.

You are obviously a dog lover?

I have a client located in MA. He received 183K alimony (and he is making over 170K in W2). I have entered 183K alimony received in Schedule 1 (Part 1 - A) under taxpayer and date of divorce was 01/01/2021. However, it does not display any information on line 2a and it does not consider it as an Income?

Please help!

Thank you

Try changing the "divorce date" by a couple of years & see what happens.

Alimony (deductible OR includable in income) rules changed several years ago....so 1.1.2021 falls under the new rules.

Yes, when I go back to 2018, it does bring the Alimony figures, but anything after that it shows 0.

This is Federal, however, the state is taking the figure and calculating taxes based on that.

Thank you so much for the reply
