![]() What is the Recapture Rule? If your alimony payments decrease or end during the first 3 calendar years, you may be subject to the recapture rule. The reasons for a reduction or end of alimony payments that can require a recapture include:
The recapture rule forces the alimony payer, usually the ex-husband, to report as income the alimony payments he previously deducted, which means the ex-wife is entitled to reduce from income the alimony payments she previously received. When does the Recapture Rule Apply? The rule applies when the payments decrease or terminate during the first three calendars years post-divorce and: 1.) The total payments made in the third year decrease by $15,000 or more from the payments made in the second year; or 2.) The payments made in the second year and the third year are substantially less than the payments made in the first year. Recapture Rule & Filing Taxes: a) Including the recapture amount in your income: If you must include a recaptured amount in income, show it on Form 1040, line 11 (“Alimony received”). Cross out “received” and enter “recapture.” On the dotted line next to the amount, enter your spouse's last name and SSN or ITIN. b) Deducting the recapture amount: If you can deduct a recaptured amount, show it on Form 1040, line 31a (“Alimony paid”). Cross out “paid” and enter “recapture.” In the space provided, enter your spouse's SSN or ITIN. Exceptions to the Recapture Rule? The Recapture Rule does NOT apply to the following:

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.

Thank you LORD KRISH for manifesting my work within 24 hours as you promised. I have come online to say that I am happy to have met Lord Krish who help me in getting back my ex wife who left me for a wealthy man because she wants to have expensive things. I met Lord Krish and he helped me with a love spell and she returned to me within 24 hours of contacting Lord Krish. After 5 months of struggling with emotional heart break, I am finally happy to have my love back in my life. I never believed love spells are very true until I met Lord Krish and it was also through same testimonies. I promised Lord Krish I would share his name on the internet to bring people to him. Contact Lord Krish to see his manifestation in your marriage at his EMAIL: [email protected]
