Tax Changes Put Alimony Payers Into Savings Plan
Washington June 25 The 67 Congressional tax authorities say the pay as you go income tax law creates a compulsory savings plan for alimony payers. The system withholds 26 percent on all payments, reducing take home pay while alimony remains deductible. An example shows a $10 weekly income with $50 weekly alimony leading to about $790 withheld annually, while next March 15 a return would show the government owes roughly $325 due to the withholding balance. The ex wife would owe income tax on the $2,500 received in alimony.
