Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you paid alimony, you'll need to file Form 1040 (not 1040A or 1040EZ). TurboTax Deluxe Online (or higher) or a TurboTax CD/Download software product supports this form.

To enter the alimony (spousal support) that you paid:

  • Continue working on your return in TurboTax Online. (If your return isn't open, you'll need to sign in and click Take me to my return.)
  • Click My Account (top right of your screen).
  • Select Tools.
  • In the pop-up window, select Topic Search.
  • In the search bar, type alimony.
  • In the results box, highlight alimony or spousal support paid, then click GO.
  • Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your alimony payments.


Note: If you received alimony and want to work online, you will also need to use TurboTax Deluxe Online (or higher).
