If a court orders termination of a registered domestic partnership and an Oregon court awards spousal support (alimony), what is the tax treatment of these payments?
Answers 1. Information on how to become a RDP in Oregon is available at the Department of Human Services. 2. In general, Oregon now affords the same rights and responsibilities to RDPs that were available only to married individuals. For Oregon tax purposes, the same rules that apply to married individuals now also apply to RDPs. The federal government doesn’t recognize domestic partners as married individuals for federal tax (IRS) purposes. RDPs must continue to file as unmarried individuals on their federal returns. You must create an “as if” federal return from which you will use the federal information to complete your Oregon return. 3. No. You must be a registered domestic partnership in Oregon. 4. For instructions on how to put your Oregon return together, see page 37 of the Oregon income tax booklet for full-year residents or page 40 of the Oregon income tax booklet for part-year residents and nonresidents. 5. No. RDPs cannot file a married filing joint or married filing separat
