Gray Divorce Taxes: Why the 2019 Alimony Rule Change Costs High Earners $17,500

Описание: If your divorce was finalized after December 31, 2018, you cannot deduct alimony payments. But the real danger is for those who divorced BEFORE 2019. If you modify your agreement today without specific legal language, you could accidentally trigger the new rules and lose your tax deduction forever.

As The Finance Observer, I’ve performed a forensic review of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) impact on divorce. In this video, we dissect the "Solvency Event" of Gray Divorce, the $17,500 tax swing between the old and new rules, and the specific "Asset Defender Protocol" you need to survive the 2026 tax cliff.
