description: "Prior to the enactment of federal tax legislation in December 2017, spousal maintenance was capable of being classified as deductible by the payor spouse for federal income tax purposes and taxable income to the recipient spouse.

# Colorado HB 18-1385 (2018A) — Domestic Relations Changes Due To Federal Tax Law
|
||
|
||
Prior to the enactment of federal tax legislation in December 2017, spousal maintenance was capable of being classified as deductible by the payor spouse for federal income tax purposes and taxable income to the recipient spouse. As a result of the 2017 federal tax legislation, commencing in 2019, spousal maintenance is not deductible by the payor spouse and is not taxable income to the recipient spouse. The guideline advisory amount of maintenance in statute, and the definitions used for calculating gross income and adjusted gross income for maintenance and child support awards, reflects the anticipated tax consequences to the payor and recipient under prior law.
