Olivia is a single mother and has one child who lives with her and for whom she
Question:
Olivia is a single mother and has one child who lives with her and for whom she provides more than half of the support. Olivia’s commissions for the year amounted to $66,000. Under a divorce agreement entered into in 2017, her former spouse, Charles, is required to make periodic alimony payments of $1,200 per month to Olivia. According to the divorce agreement, when Charles and Olivia’s child reaches age 18, marries, or dies (whichever occurs first), the payments will be reduced to $700 per month. Olivia has custody of the child. For the year 2022, Charles made a total payment of $12,000 to Olivia. The following is the list of expenses she incurred in 2022:
- Medical expenses $3,600
- State and local income taxes $3,700
- State and local real estate taxes $4,300
- State and local personal property taxes $2,100
- Interest on home mortgage $11,000
