Rebecca is paying her ex-husband? Then she is not receiving alimony, right? He is receiving alimony AND child support!

Answered by Writeacher
I'd say D, but then I just use Turbo-Tax and don't have an ex-spouse or child to worry about!

If it is court ordered, 5000 is deductible for her as "alimony".
