Bill overview
This bill, proposed by Representative Markey, aimed to clarify the tax treatment of alimony payments in Massachusetts. Currently, alimony is taxable to both the payer and the recipient. The bill proposed to treat alimony as non-taxable income for the payer and non-taxable expenses for the recipient, aligning Massachusetts law with the federal tax code. However, the bill failed to pass the legislature.
