Enter the alimony paid and other requested information in the Deductions & Credits section of the interview for your federal tax return. (To revisit this section type alimony in the search box and then select the Jump to link.)
After you enter the required data here, TurboTax will tell you that your federal alimony deduction is $0. We expect it to do that, of course, but it will preserve the data to transfer to your state return.
A question about your alimony will come up in your state interview automatically based on your entry. If, for some reason, it does not, please let us know and indicate which state you are filing in so that we can assist further.
