What do I enter for Alimony Received?
For divorce agreements entered into 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 divorce agreements entered into 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.
For divorce agreements entered into before 2019, enter amounts you received as alimony or separate maintenance. You must tell the person who made the payments your Social Security number in order to avoid a possible penalty.
Amounts that you receive for child support aren't income to you. Don't enter any child support payments as alimony.
