I normally post about my new partners stuff..but this is me.
Little unusual but I have to pay my ex husband support as he was very underemployed...lazy...whatever else.
I claimed the full amount of spousal support on my income...and got my assessment this morning. They wouldnt allow me the full claim, and stated
We changed your deduction for support payments to a spouse or a common-law partner to $--,---, which is the maximum allowed. You can deduct only support amounts you paid under a written agreement or court order that are more than the child support payable for current and prior years.
I was never told there was a maximum amount allowed to be claimed.
But my question is...if I cant claim it...my ex should amend his tax return, to only say he got what I was allowed to claim???? i want him to be able to do this as it will reduce his amount payable.
As a side note....funny how they amended my refund...but didnt change his so he wouldnt owe as much!
