Ask The Taxgirl: Child Support & Legal Fees
Taxpayer asks:
I live in Illinois, I understand Child Support is not a tax break, or have any tax implications, but how about lawyer fees everytime she takes me back to court.
Taxgirl says:
Nope, sorry. There’s no tax deduction for legal fees for child support – but you may able to deduct the cost of tax advice in connection with a divorce.
Before you go: be sure to read my disclaimer. Remember, I’m a lawyer and we love disclaimers.
