I just mailed my taxes. The refund isn't as hefty as I'd like – the mid four figures, as opposed to the low five figures of the days of a full year of alimony – but it's better than nothing.
In that filing I included what I hope is my last ever IRS Form 1040 Schedule 1, which is where you say how much alimony you paid, and to whom. It also includes my first of many Schedule A, which is where you report the mortgage interest deduction. The mortgage interest deduction does handily beat the standard deduction. Computing the mortgage interest deduction is a little bit bananas partly because of Trump, but c'est l'argent.
