Court-Ordered Child Support Deduction
The court-ordered child support deduction is allowed when court-ordered child support payments are garnished from the client’s income. The garnished child support can be for arrearages or current support.
Deduct the actual amount of court-ordered child support being garnished up to a maximum of $250 per month, regardless of the number of children to whom child support is being paid.
Exception:
The combined family allocation and child support deduction cannot exceed $250 per month. Reduce the amount of this deduction by the amount of the family allocation.
Remember!
Can you use this deduction on Emily’s or Andreas’ LTC income calculation?
