Samantha enters into a child-support agreement with her ex-husband whereby Samantha agrees topay $2,000 per month for all of 2021. In fact, Samantha informs IBM of the arrangement and has the $2,000 deposited directly into her ex’s bank account. When Samantha files her tax return, the IRS claims Samantha is taxed on the $24,000 she paid in child support. Samantha claims her ex should be taxed. Who is right?
