A separation agreement incorporated into the judgment of divorce in 1990 provides that the husband shall pay $300 per week to the wife “for maintenance and child support.” The payments are to cease on October 29, 2004. The parties’ only child turns 21 on that date. Is this maintenance or child support for income tax purposes? Why?

What will be an ideal response?


Child support; unallocated award is deemed to be child support; moreover, here cessation
of payments is keyed to child’s emancipation.
