Best Answer

In the UK it is your responsibility to file a tax return if you think you may owe tax but you won't have to pay any tax on child maintenance payments you receive in the UK.

Similarly in the US The person paying child support cannot deduct those payments on a tax return and child support is not included in the income of the person getting the payments.

Absolutely.

Another Perspective

If the only money coming in is child support you do not need to file. Payments designated as child support in a court order are non-taxable for the recipient and non-deductible for the obligor. You can read more about it at the related link.

The two have nothing to do with each other. If a court has ordered you to pay child support, you have a legal obligation to pay it regardless of whether you file taxes. If you have a certain amount of income, you have a legal obligation to file a tax return, regardless of your child support status.

hello,my husband health is getting worse and we do not file married filing jointly because he owes over 40,000 in child support rears.if he becomes deceased would l have to pay his owed taxes what about his child support rears ?

No, you would not be responsible for his back taxes since you did not file jointly but the IRS can put a lien on anything he left you. As far as child support, you are not in any way responsible for that.
