Answer:

  • Divorce after 2020 = Alimony is $0
  • Divorce before 2020 = Alimony is $12,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If the divorce occurred before 2020 then the spouse paying the alimony can deduct it from their taxes and the person receiving it has to include it in their income. If the divorce of Jake and his spouse was before 2020, he will be able to include the full $12,000 as a deduction.

In 2020, new regulation came into effect that meant that couples divorcing from thence will not be able to deduct alimony so Jake's deduction would be $0 if they divorced in 2020 and onwards.
