IRS More Aggressive in Divorce Support Agreements Reviews

Bay Area Family Law attorneys should advise all clients that the IRS is getting more aggressive in reviewing support agreements—and this could have tax implications.

In a recent case, a couple divorced over a decade received an IRS notice regarding their support payments and an assertion that part of the support was actually child support over all those years. The implication was that the person paying the support would have to claim income from payments that the IRS deemed should have been child support.
