Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the claimed child support payments were deductible from taxable income for 2001
Extrahierter Entscheid
No; the taxpayer failed to prove a sufficiently specified and actually performed support obligation, so the deduction could not be allowed.
Extrahierte Begründung
The 1998 and 2005 agreements did not establish a clearly quantified and enforceable child support arrangement for the relevant year, and the payment list and other documents did not prove direct, exclusive, and full payment for the daughter.
