Frazer Ryan tax litigation partner Brandon Keim is quoted in the August 21, 2019, Bloomberg Law: Tax article, ” Alimony Tax Change Upends Payments in Divorce Negotiations.”

The article focuses onthe impact of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on divorcing parties and on federal tax revenues since it went into effect in January 2019.

Brandon’s 2018 article, ” New Year, New Alimony Tax Rules ,” discusses how the 2017 law excludes spousal maintenance payments from the recipient’s taxable income and removes the deductibility of those payments from the payer’s taxable income.
