Where do I enter alimony paid?

Menu Path: Deductions/Credits > Other Deductions/Credits > Miscellaneous Adjustments

Enter your alimony paid on the Alimony Payments screen.

For divorces executed after December 31, 2018, the payer can't deduct alimony paid and the recipient won't need to declare the alimony as taxable income. This also applies to divorces executed before 2019 if they were modified after December 31, 2018 and the modification states that the repeal of the deduction for alimony payments applies to the modification.
