Is alimony taxable to the payor in all states?

No, alimony is not taxable to the payor in all states. In North Dakota, alimony is not taxed unless it is designated as “taxable alimony”. This means that the parties must agree in writing that the payment is taxable. If the parties do not agree that the alimony is taxable in writing, then North Dakota does not tax the payment of alimony. In addition, North Dakota does not require the payment of alimony to be included in the payor’s income for state tax purposes. However, it is important to note that the alimony payments may still be taxable for federal income tax purposes. Therefore, it is important to consult with a tax professional to ensure that the appropriate taxes are paid. In conclusion, alimony payments can be taxable to the payor in North Dakota depending on whether or not the parties choose to designate the payment as “taxable alimony”.
